Best African Act 2009 @ the MOBO awards

Two nights ago, the 14th MOBO Awards took place at the SECC, Glasgow. Hosted by the charming Reggie Yates and superstar Keri Hilson, the show saw jaw dropping performances from JLS, Tinchy Stryder, N-Dubz, Chipmunk and Keri Hilson. As well as a historic performance from War Child's 'Young Soul Rebels' performing "I Got Soul" for the first time together. The evening also paid homage to the late Michael Jackson, with a moving tribute led by La Toya & Jermaine Jackson. It was a brilliant year for all who won and for all those nominated. It was a special night for soul diva/tomboy Nneka who took home the Best African Act award following 9ice who took it home last year. We are proud of our Nigerian sister. The nominees for the 2009 Best African Act were: Amadou and Miriam, Baaba Maai (senegal), Eldee (Nigeria), Femi Kuti (Nigeria), K'Naan (somalia), Lira (south africa), Mujava (south afica), Nneka (Nigeria), Oumou Sangare (mali), and Salif Kelta (mali).
