No Awards for Deejays Joe & Creme

After a long period marked by hype and much anticipation for the premier awards ceremony that recognizes and celebrate the talent of the greatest DJ’s in Africa, Africa Global DJ Awards (AGDA), the event did not take place after all.

On the day of the event (13 July), the organizers announced that the awards gala slotted to take place at the holding at the Orientals Hotels V.I in Lagos, Nigeria, had been cancelled with this information posted on their social media;

We want to announce the official cancellation of AGDA Awards 2013. More on this would be made know on this page and other social media platforms run by the organization. We are sorry for inconveniences caused by this cancellation and who sent out a release to explain reason why this had to be.

Among the deejays nominated for the awards were Capital FM’s DJ Joe Mfalme and Republic Deejays’ DJ Crème.

The event was expected to be held annually and was the first and only African DJ awards ceremony to be held in the continent. But now that is just a pipe-dream.
