The All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA) in partnership with the African Union Commission (AUC) is set to host The Diamond Party and Prize Presentation on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, at Voyage Lagos, Nigeria, as part of its broader commitment to sustainable talent development and the long-term growth of Africa’s creative and cultural industries.
The event will celebrate seven outstanding emerging African artistes whose stage names are Ellacentric, Black Astro, Yamayeh Vibez, Mayowa Afolabi, DELLFIRE, El Nayaan and Blinkz Baba. They are collectively known as The AFRIMA Diamonds, discovered through the AFRIMA Talent Discovery and Promotion Initiative, one of the institution’s strategic development pillars designed to identify, nurture, empower and elevate the next generation of African music stars.
The Diamond Party represents the culmination of a year-long talent discovery and development process that attracted entries from emerging artistes across the continent.
Following a rigorous selection process conducted by AFRIMA’s International Jury, seven exceptional talents were selected and subsequently given the opportunity to perform at the AFRIMA Music Village during the 9th AFRIMA Awards held in Lagos, Nigeria.
