As part of an initiative aimed at celebrating artistes and other contributors to the creation of music across Africa, the Afrobeats music genre is set induct its first-ever hall of fame members.
The media office of the ABHF (Afro Beat Hall Of Fame) disclosed in a statement that the event was a first of its kind induction and award ceremony created to recognise and celebrate the historic and cultural significance of Afro music.
The statement reads; “The ABHF honours the artistry and the contributions made by those who have played major roles in the dissemination and creation of music in the Nigerian entertainment industry and Africa at large.
The statement also said that a media parley would hold on November 11 as a prelude to the main event which had been slated to hold before the end of 2021.
“The media parley which brings together key stakeholders in the music and media industry, will feature a fireside chat with leading names,” it added.
“With media representatives from across TV, radio, print and digital platforms in attendance, the parley will among other things, shed more light on the upcoming Afrobeat Hall of Fame induction ceremony scheduled for the end of the year,” the statement concluded.
