Singer Blossom - real name Ruusa Munalye - has made it into the Top 20 Africa Music Challenge (AMC).
This comes after the AMC team held a virtual event over the weekend to reveal the Top 20 contestants for the Africa theme song edition.
The competition, which ran from 15 February to 31 March, attracted over 400 submissions from African artists.
Speaking at the announcement, event creator Leslie Koroma said the competition is intended to provide opportunities for artists from all 55 African countries as they lock horns in head-to-head competition to vie for supremacy.
Africa Day celebrations
He said the top five artists would be announced on Saturday, 8 May. These five will then perform virtually on Africa Day, 25 May, when the winner will be chosen.
Of the top 20 performers, six are from each Nigeria and Botswana, two from Zambia and one from Sierra Leone, eSwatini, South Africa, Cameroon, Namibia and South Sudan respectively.
For artists to make it to the top 20, their songs had to be in adherence to the 2021 theme, which is celebrating Africa’s culture, people, food, music and everything that makes Africa unique.
