This is a big one for the Nigerian music industry as works of selected Nigerian artists will be displayed as part of the African Sounds exhibit at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles. The museum and Black Entertainment Television (BET) will unveil the new exhibition on Friday, June 24, 2016 highlighting winners and nominees of both the Grammy Awards and BET Awards.

BET Africa’s Monde Twala said: “It’s fantastic to see the influence of African artists and music amplified in this unique exhibition in this iconic setting. We are excited about working with the Grammy Museum to create this fascinating tribute to legendary, traditional and contemporary African musicians.” 

Paying tribute to music’s rich cultural history, the Grammy Museum explores and celebrates the enduring legacies of all forms of music by capturing the creative process, as well as the art and technology of the recording process.

The building features 30,000 square feet of interactive and multimedia exhibits.
