For cultural and creative practitioners and organisations operating in southern Africa, access to funding remains a major challenge. The COVID-19 pandemic has also had a massive impact on government policy, spending and the economy in general, and has seen spending on culture being moved further down the list of priorities. Further, the cultural and creative industries repeatedly cite four main areas where investment is needed for growth, which are increased visibility, mobility including access to new markets, finance and support structures.

Galsen Hip Hop Awards 2023 : la liste complète des lauréats !

Home/Non classé/Galsen Hip Hop Awards 2023 : la liste complète des lauréats !

En 9 éditions, sur un peu plus de 10 ans, le gala des GHHA est devenu l’une des plus grandes fêtes du hip hop sénégalais ! Chaque année, l’événement réunit une centaines d’artistes et de professionnels du secteur, pour du spectacle et pour la remise des différents prix.

Cette année encore, la cérémonie a rassemblé du beau monde sur son tapis rouge, pour une édition spéciale, placée sous le thème des 50 ans du hip hop.

En effet, cela fait plus de 5 décennies déjà, que ce genre musical est né en Amérique du Nord, avant de devenir le mode d’expression favori et même le style de vie, de plusieurs générations de jeunes à travers le monde.

Le Sénégal, qui a adopté le hip hop depuis plus de 30 ans, fait partie des meilleurs élèves du continent en la matière, avec sa scène dynamique qui réunit quelques-uns des plus grands talents du continent.

Avec les GHHA, initié par Point Blank Prod, le Sénégal remercie non seulement ses artistes les plus brillants, mais aussi ceux de tout le continent ! Le plus brillant cette saison, c’est Gun Mor, qui repart avec le prix de l’artiste de l’année, mais aussi celui de la meilleure mixtape pour Feu de joie, ainsi que celui du choix du public.
