Judging by the numbers, this year has not gone well for Africa. Tyla’s win shows that Africa’s diverse talent is not only concentrated in the old folks in the industry but even young entrants too. The young amapiano and R&B Grammys winners is not unknown having surfaced since 2019. But her ascent is a cause for celebration not just for South Africa but the continent. Would we see more Africans getting the Grammys in 2025? Let’s see what the actors bring to the table in 2024.
