Over The Weekend: Full List Of AFRIMA Winners
Last night was phenomenal at the Eko Hotel and Suites and the reason was the 2015 All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA). The music industry gathered to celebrate and recognize their colleagues in the industry.
In partnership with the African Union Commission (AUC), we can reaffirm that music indeed bonds the continent and we can unify in our diversity.
