  Top Nominees
  Submissions were received from fans, artists, record labels and management representing the best and a lot of up-and-coming artists from around the continent and the Diaspora. Artists dominating nominations include South Africa’s Freshlyground, Nigeria’s 2Face Idibia, DRC’s Fally Ipupa and Senegal’s Viviane N’dour both all 5 nominations each. As with the inaugural Awards, the submission and nomination process was open to all artists representing the numerous music genres across the continent. See www.moamas.com/nominees2011 for the list of nominees.
  
  Exciting Categories
  The second annual Afrotainment Museke Online African Music Awards have come with the introduction of new categories which acknowledge the numerous genres that make up the African music scene. As previously announced, the Voters’ Choice category has been included in order to further engage with the African music fan in acknowledging artists who may not have enjoyed a lot of television airplay due to video submission restrictions, but went on to have an impact on the ground nonetheless. Dance is an integral part of African culture on various levels. The Tribal House category shows love to African-influenced dance genres including Kwaito, Kuduro and Coupe Decale.
  
  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.
  
  With the Record of the Year, the Afrotainment Museke Online African Music Awards have taken the lead in paying homage to artists who include in their music themes and lyrics that portray a positive picture of the African continent and exude African pride. Finally, Afrotainment Museke Online African Music Awards know that DJs are an integral part in promoting, dispersing, fusing and creating music. The DJ of the Year category shows respect to DJs across the continent that have played a part in developing their respective genres and also command respect locally and cross-borders.
  
  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.

• Kuduro.tv Launches New Facebook Fanpage and Facebook Video Sharing Application

  Aug 18, 2011 by Kuduro TV / 961 Views

  Luanda — Kuduro.tv has launched a new Facebook Fanpage and Facebook Application which enables website fans to view videos and listen to the popular music from Angola on Facebook.
  

  ---

  
  The new Facebook page contains information about the origins of Angola music and the different types of music such as:
  
  

  • Kizomba
  • Semba
  • R&B
  • Hip Hop 
  • Kuduro from Angola and any part of the world.
    

  
  Kuduro.tv plans to use the Facebook fan page to inform fans of video and news updates to the website as well as allow fans to post comments on page.  Engagement has been going up and people are clicking the Like button as the fan page grows in popularity.
  
  The fan page also contains information on the latest news of Angola musicians’ new album releases and appearances in areas such as Luanda and Paris, with appearance time and events schedules as well as information on the type of even taking place. 
  
  Fans are encouraged to add the Kuduro.tv application to their profiles in order to watch the music videos directly on their wall.  Participation has been very positive in the short amount of time the fan page has been live on Facebook.
  
  The Kuduro.tv Facebook fan page is the only fan page on Facebook which plays videos exclusively for the Angolan music and the Kuduro genre. 
  
  Kuduro is a type of dance where, typically, like Ragga, some forms of hiphop, and other afro-based musics, the female dancer protrudes her derriere and swings it sensuously to the rhythm of the hard-hitting Kuduro beat.
  
  Kuduro is very popular across the former Portuguese colonies in Africa, as well as in the outskirts of Lisbon, Portugal due to the large number of Angolan immigrants.
  
  Visit the Facebook fan page now:
