P-UNIT MAKES EAST AFRICA PROUD AT CHANNEL O AWARDS (CHOAMVA)


The Channel O Africa Music Video Awards (CHOMVA) went down last weekend, (Saturday 30th November) at the Walter Sisulu Square in Kliptown, Soweto hosted by Nigeria’s Naeto C and AKA. The awards ceremony was the culmination of an ongoing project by music fans all over Africa. Fans voted for their favorite artistes across different categories. Kenya’s highlight this year was the double win by Kenyan group P-Unit feat. Collo with the Musyoka-produced hit, ‘You Guy (Dat Dendai). The song won in the Most Gifted African East Video  and Most Gifted Ragga Dancehall Video categories.(Watch video here).





The win was a huge relief for East African music as a whole as other nominees including Kenyans: Sauti Sol, STL, Victoria Kimani and Xtatic did not get any award. This year’s CHOAMVA was largely dominated by West & Southern African artistes. Only Victoria Kimani from Kenya performed her song “Mtoto” in the list of performers that included Cassper Nyovest featuring Okmalumkooklat, Burna Boy, The Soil, Khuli Chana, Buffalo Souljah, Wizkid, Aka featuring Da L.E.S., KCee, Lizha James and Mafikizolo



The biggest category at the Channel O Africa Music Video Awards is always the Most Gifted Video of the Year which this year featured a massive 12 nominees. In the end it was Wizkid who triumphed with “Azonto”, marking yet another big moment in the career of the Nigerian star.
