These artists include Yo Maps from Zambia, ELEMENT EleéeH from Rwanda, Tay Grin and Onesimus from Malawi, Rich Bizzy from Zambia, Oltanie from Haiti, Zani Lady C from Uganda, Queennak from Sierra Leone, and Christine Nkole from Zambia. Each of these artists brings a unique flavor and energy, contributing to the growing wave of Afro-Caribbean music’s global influence.
Mr. Davies Chirwa shared his enthusiasm for this groundbreaking initiative, stating, “This is an unparalleled opportunity to uplift both established and emerging artists from marginalized communities. Channel A TV is honored to use our platform and Grammy credentials to shine a spotlight on these extraordinary talents.
