AFRIMA 2021: Unity in Diversity
Glitz! Glamour! Classy! Razzmatazz! Eye opening! All of these and more are impeccable descriptions of how the 2021 edition of the All Africa Music Awards rolled out. With astonishing and breathtaking views, to the dapper and amazing looks of the hosts, nominees and guests. What a way to celebrate the hard work of talented African artists; in grand style and on a continental stage.
Seeing Africans come together to celebrate one another is an absolute beauty to behold. The oneness, inter country support, collaborative efforts. All of these and more are what makes us unique. The unity in our diversity and diversity in unity.
