The Recording Academy, organizers of Grammy Awards, has created a category for ‘Best African Music Performance.’ The category was one of the three new ones. That the academy revealed on Tuesday in a statement posted on its website. The Best Pop Dance Recording and  Best Alternative Jazz Album categories are the other newly established ones.

According to the statement, the new categories will receive nominations beginning with next year’s show.

“The addition of the Best African Music Performance category reflects how African acts such as Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Tems—along with the rise of the Afrobeats genre—have become global chart-topping stars and streaming juggernauts,” the statement reads in part.

The Grammy “Best African Music Performance” category is open to contemporary and traditional African music, including Afrobeats, Afro-pop, Amapiano, High Life, Fuji, etc.
