Singer-songwriter, harmonica player, and businessman,
Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo (D’Banj) who won the maiden
MAMA Evolution awards, has dedicated the prestigious
prize to his former business partner and producer, Don
Jazzy, who is the boss of Mavin Records.
The Evolution category is meant for established artistes who
have made a huge impact on the African music scene, taken
African music to new heights around the world and pushed
the boundaries of creativity.
D’Banj beat fellow Nigerian representatives Asa, Psquare
and 2face to the awards. Fally Ipupa (DRC), Samini
(Ghana), HHP (South Africa) Chameleone (Uganda), Black
Coffee (South Africa) and Anselmo Ralph (Angola) were also
nominated
It will be recalled that the musical marriage between D’Banj
and Don Jazzy ended on a sour note in 2012.
