AFROTAINMENT MUSEKE ONLINE MUSIC AWARDS 2011

The cream of the African music industry will gather at an Afro-glam red carpet event at the Afrotainment Studio in New York to recognize African talent as award winners are announced and celebrated. The Afrotainment Museke Online Africa Music Awards will be multi-casted Live on the Afrotainment family of channels nationwide in the US and will also be viewable online at awards.afrotainment.us

The Afrotainment Museke Online African Music Awards (Moamas) is currently in its second year and features more than 30 categories covering Africa and the Diaspora. The awards, which will be announced via an event at Afrotainment's New York studios on Sept. 24, joins the two other major pan-African music awards on the continent -- the three-year-old MTV Africa Music Awards (Mamas) and the Channel O Music Video Awards which are based out of Johannesburg.

The Afrotainment Museke Online African Music Awards are built on the belief in bringing together Africans through music exchange, and as such, the African Collaboration category is aimed at recognising efforts made by artists to collaborate with other artists outside of their own country borders. Now more than ever, African artists are making more and more efforts to collaborate cross-borders and cross-genres, with amazing and increasingly popular results, and Afrotainment Museke Online African Music Awards strongly believe in being proactive about acknowledging and rewarding such efforts.

Voting Process and Awards Show
Fans of African music are invited to take part in the Afrotainment Museke Online African Music Awards by voting for their favourite and artists they feel are most deserving of honours in the various categories from 10 August 2011 until 18 September 2011, when voting will close. Voting will take place on the awards’ website, www.moamas.com. The awards’ show will be hosted and broadcast from Afrotainment’s New York studios on September 24 2011, where African music fans will gather and get down to the beats of some of the most popular African artists as they provide the soundtrack to the celebration of the finest talent that the African continent has to offer.
