Trailblazing Zimbabwean band Mokoomba will this 3 May be inducted into the Afropop Hall of Fame.
It all happens at New York’s City Winery at Afropop’s 30th Anniversary.
This year’s inductees are Garifuna legend Aurelio Martinez and the most dynamic band out of Zimbabwe in the past decade, Mokoomba. Both acts will perform at the gala.
Past inductees include King Sunny Ade, Youssou N’Dour, Oumou Sangare, Angelique Kidjo, Habib Koite, Harry Belafonte, Oliver Mtukudzi and Thomas Mapfumo.
Inductees into the Afropop Hall of Fame are chosen for their artistic excellence and their significant roles in connecting Americans to Africa.
The announcement was made a few weeks ago but we are pretty amped about it.
And to celebrate this, catch the boys at New Ambassador Hotel roof on Friday.
