The African music industry gathered in splendor at the Eko Convention Centre on Sunday night, January 11, 2026, for the 9th edition of the All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA).

The prestigious ceremony, held in partnership with the African Union Commission, served as a powerful testament to the global dominance of African sounds, from Afrobeats and Amapiano to Bongo Flava and Soukous.

Nigerian superstars dominated the spotlight, but the event remained a truly pan-African affair, with artists from Rwanda, Senegal, Morocco, and South Africa sharing the stage.
