revealed this past weekend at a press conference in Ghana that the institution is considering the addition an Afrobeats category to next year\u2019s 65th Annual Grammy Awards. <a rel=\"nofollow

video, in which Mason says he and other Recording Academy brass \u201cjust had a meeting literally about six or seven days ago with leaders from the Afrobeats community\u201d to discuss the potential move.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            \u201cWe had a virtual listening session where we heard from Afrobeats creators and just talked about \u2018What are the different subgenres? What are the needs? What are the desires?,\u2019\u201d he adds. \u201cAnd my goal is to represent all genres of music, including Afrobeats, at the Grammys.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>            Mason makes it clear in the video, however, that the decision is far from final. \u201cI don\u2019t decide categories,\u201d he explains. \u201cThe categories are decided by proposals submitted by members. The members can say \u2018Harvey, I want an Afrobeat category\u2026\u2019 So that process has started now. I think the listening session last week was very important, very valuable, and a the step towards that path.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            The FADER has reached out to the Academy for further comment.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-237370\" class=\"content_block paragraph embed triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Recording Academy is now considering an Afrobeats category at the annual Grammys ceremony \ud83c\udfc6<\/p>\n<p>Harvey Manson Jr., the CEO of The Academy, revealed in an interview with the press in Ghana over the weekend<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kZuXpMoCJS\">pic.twitter.com\/kZuXpMoCJS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 TurnTable Charts (@TurntableCharts) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TurntableCharts\/status\/1574369126247763969?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 26, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-237371\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>            Afrobeats has exploded in popularity of late, with scene leaders such as Burna Boy, Wizkid, Olamide Fireboy DML, Asake, Adekunle Gold, and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ybnlprincess\/?hl=en\">Temmie Ovwasa<\/a> pushing the movement forward.<\/p>\n<p>            Watch Burna Boy\u2019s 2019 video interview with Lawrence Burney and listen to Fireboy DML\u2019s recent conversation with Brandon Callender on the 56th episode of The FADER Interview.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">Raphael Helfand<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<p><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
