MTV Base To Take Viewers On MAMA Memory Lane This Weekend

The MAMA nominees have been announced and voting is open for the 2015 MTV Africa Music Awards.  (MAMA 2015: Full list of nominees) And while we continue the count down to this glittering awards, which will screen across Africa on MTV Base on Saturday, 18th July at 7:00PM GMT, we are taking time to remember past MAMA ceremonies and their highlights.

The MAMA sets the perfect stage for collaborations between Africa’s best musical talent and American artists. Who can forget the energetic performance by Nigeria’s D’Banj and American singer and former Destiny’s Child member Kelly Rowland at the very first MAMA in Nigeria?

This year is the fifth edition of the MAMA, which returns to Durban, South Africa. The big question on everyone’s lips is: who will host the best pan-African music award show? Past hosts include Trevor Nelson, Wyclef Jean, Eve and Shawn Wayans.
At each ceremony, the MAMA recognize and honor Africa’s musical talent with the Legend Award. Previous recipients of the MAMA Legend Award include Fela Kuti, Miriam Makeba and Lucky Dube. With every award show, there are always fashion hits and misses on the red carpet.

South African singer Lira, Ghanaian reggae star Samini and Nigerian songbird Nneka on the MTV Africa Music Awards red carpet. Make sure to tune in to MTV Base on Saturday, 18th July at 7:00PM GMT for all the glitz and glam from the 2015 MTV Africa Music Awards.
