The Recording Academy, the organisation behind the GRAMMY Awards, is embarking on a path to extend its efforts to support music creators on a global scale.
The Recording Academy is spreading its wings across the globe! They’ve announced plans to expand their Grammy Awards to Africa, aiming to support music creators in the region and foster a more inclusive global music community.
This move is part of their broader strategy to establish a presence in rapidly growing music markets, including the Middle East. The Academy has been working with various Ministries of Culture in countries like Kenya, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, and South Africa, as well as other key stakeholders.
This expansion will not only provide opportunities for African music to be recognized and celebrated on the world stage but also strengthen the creative economy in the region. The Academy plans to offer educational programs and resources tailored to the needs of music creators in these areas, further supporting their growth and development.
The Recording Academy is taking a big step towards making the Grammy Awards a truly global event, recognizing and celebrating music from all corners of the world.
