The South Sudan Music Awards are presented annually since 2019 with the aim of celebrating South Sudanese singers, dancers, DJs, producers and comedians from both home and abroad.

  • And as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the event will take place virtually.
  • The complete list of nominees is below.

Moses Yasin, SSMA brand ambassador, said: “I want to ensure our transparency in every aspect of the process, and I urge members of the public to use their votes with full confidence. This will be virtually held due to the COVID-19 pandemic,”

The SSMA seeks to foster the development of the South Sudan music industry by recognizing and rewarding musicians who excel in the South Sudanese music genres: Reggae, Hip Hop, Afro Pop, R&B, Dance-hall and Traditional.

Those awards are organized as part of group efforts to make the cultural heritage and natural resources in South Sudan more visible and preserved.
