Ahead of the 2024 Grammy Awards, a new category has been added. It is solely for African performers, reflecting the explosion of global appreciation for homegrown styles like afrobeats and amapiano : Best African Music Performance, Best Alternative Jazz Album and Best Pop Dance Recording.
“Best African Music Performance”, as the new category is known, was announced on Tuesday by the Grammys.

The US music industry’s top honours will also award the producer of the year, non-classical and songwriter of the year, non-classical — the latter of which was created last year and will now slot into general field, allowing all Grammy voters to vote.
