# Muzikol Music Awards

The Muzikol Music Awards (commonly known as the MUMA) is a music awards program developed by a technology company in Cameroon called ABEBOH and run by its Music product called Muzikol. The Main objective of Muzikol Music awards is to reward and celebrate outstanding performances in the African and Cameroonian Music Industries. Muzikol Music Awards is aimed at celebrating the African music Industry through the music, the musicians and all the music professionals who make up the music industry.

## Background

Muzikol Music Awards was launched to give back recognition for well-deserved African music stakeholders free of bias and favors. The MUMAs do this by using Artificial Intelligence tools in the nominations process, voting system, and also in determining the final winners. In 2017, Nges Brian founded Muzikol which is a one-stop-shop for musical services and products and also a music social network to sell Cameroonian musical products and at the same time, connect the Musicians with friends and families. In 2020, Muzikol expanded its activities from online to offline by launching and executing the first edition of the Muzikol Music Awards in Douala - Cameroon which brought together thousands of music stakeholders from allover Cameroon
