Every year, the Recording Academy presents the Grammy Awards, a distinguished music award ceremony that recognises excellence in the recording business. They honour accomplishments in pop, rock, R&B, hip-hop, country, jazz, classical, and more musical genres. Several African artists have been nominated for the 2025 Grammy Awards, notably in the newly created Best African Music Performance category. Tyla, the South African singer behind last year's global viral hit 'Water', became Africa's sole Grammy winner at the 66th edition in February, winning the first Best African Music Performance trophy. With multiple nominations this year, African artists are hoping for additional wins at the 67th Grammy Awards. Nominees include:
