Senegal To Host 8th AFRIMA, The Teranga Edition
AFRIMA, the All Africa Music Awards, will be held in Senegal for its eighth edition.
The Senegalese government announced this at a joint world media conference – host country unveiling ceremony on
Friday, November 4, 2022, at the Hotel King Fahd Royal Palace in Dakar, Senegal.
The awards ceremony will now be held from January 12 to 15, 2023, in Dakar, Senegal,
as announced jointly by The International Committee of AFRIMA, The African Union
Commission, and The Republic of Senegal. This also means that the nominees’ voting deadline has
been pushed back to January 13, 2023, at 23.00. (CAT).
Following previous editions, this will be the first time the main awards ceremony will be
held in a francophone country. Angela Martins, Head of Culture Division, Social Affairs Division,
African Union Commission (AUC), stated that the African Union is thrilled
that the awards will be held in a francophone region, “The AUC has been a strong partner
and collaborator of the prestigious awards since its first edition in 2014.”
AFRIMA has grown to become the only continental platform dedicated to promoting and
disseminating the incredible talent of African musicians of all ages.
This prestigious platform gives expression and supports the implementation of the AU policy instruments in the creative economy including the AU Plan of Action on Cultural and Creative Industries.
The hosting of AFRIMA by the Republic of Senegal will happen at a time when Senegal will still be the Chairperson of the African Union and it is an opportune occasion to close its chairmanship by promoting our rich arts, culture and heritage.
In his acceptance speech, Senegal’s Minister of Tourism and Air Transport, HE Mr. Alioune Sarr, represented by Phillipe Ba said, “Personally and on behalf of the Senegalese government, welcome to Sénégal, the home of the champions of football.

We are happy knowing that Sénégal becomes the third country and the first Francophone country to host this great event.”

Fans attending Reggae Sting 2024 can expect a performance that highlights his creativity, passion, and commitment to pushing the boundaries of the genre.
This year’s event marks a return to its legendary home at Jamworld in Portmore, a venue synonymous with the golden moments of Reggae Sting’s storied history. After undergoing renovations, Jamworld is once again ready to welcome thousands of music fans to experience the unmatched energy and cultural vibrancy of Sting.
As Reggae Sting prepares for the future, the event is undergoing an exciting transformation. The Sting team has also embraced technology, introducing a revamped ticketing platform, a new online music distribution division, and a dedicated streaming network to enhance the experience for fans around the world.
Inpha Reblitive’s performance at Reggae Sting 2024 is set to be a highlight of the event, further cementing the show’s reputation as a launchpad for rising stars and a celebration of Jamaica’s unparalleled musical heritage.
