Spread across 14 categories, this year?s?Channel O Africa Music Video Awards?nominees are a showcase of Original African music from all corners of the continent ? befitting to the dashing 17 year old music channel that has and continues to consistently be a pioneer for Africa?s musicians and music.

?The quality of music videos we have seen over the past few years is testament to the way music videos are playing an increasingly important role in the promotion of African music. It is refreshing to see newcomers nominated with industry veterans in this year?s nominees list and it proves that there is no barrier to making an?impact on the music scene.
