Kanze Dena Engages Larry Madowo In This Fierce Battle. Who Will Win?
Mwafaka Awards recently unveiled the nominees in the gospel ministry in a very glamorous event that attracted top acts in the entertainment industry.
“We are delighted to announce the nominees as we celebrate the 6th year of Mwafaka Awards,” said Aaron Kelly (Dydyero), CEO, Mwafaka Awards. “With a new record of over 30 entries, Mwafaka Awards, is as always; hugely competitive and reflect the dynamic pace of growth and evolution in music poetry. Congratulations to all those shortlisted yesterday and many thanks to our judges who have an almost impossible task selecting the nominees from such high-calibre and exciting entries.”
To mark the 6th annual event of Mwafaka Awards, one new special award has been introduced and it’s called the “Kikwetu Rising Star of the Year”.
This award is specifically designed to acknowledge artists who have impact in different regions and can qualify to have recognition on a national platform but lack exposure and platforms needed to present their craft.
