What a night! Aside from football, the celebration of good music is the only thing that could possibly bring the whole African continent together, and that’s exactly what Trace Music did.

Set in Kigali, Rwanda at the BK Arena on October 21st, the awards are intended to celebrate African and Afro-influenced performers. Over 150 artists were nominated for the Afro-centric music awards ceremony, which showcased the excellence and diversity of genres such as Afrobeat, Dancehall, Hip Hop, Afro-pop, Mbalax, Amapiano, Zouk, Kizomba, Genge, Coupé Décalé, Bongo Flava, Soukous, Gospel, Rap, Rai, Kompa, R&B, and Rumba. The ceremony, hosted by Nigerian music veteran D’Banj and Angolan supermodel Maria Borges, featured a star-studded lineup.

When it came down to fashion the stars brought their A–game. Arian Simone wore a stunning white dress that came with a matching cape, Mucyo Sandrine opted for an organza piece.
