However, the award ultimately went to Matt B and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra for Alkebulan II, beating out nominees such as Ciro Hurtado’s Paisajes, Rema’s HEIS, Antonio Rey’s Historias De Un Flamenco, Tems’ Born in the Wild

Despite missing out on the Best Global Music Album award, Tems’ Grammy victory underscores her growing dominance in the international music scene. With an impressive eight career Grammy nominations and two wins, she continues to break barriers and elevate African music to greater heights.
