Ghanaian Afro-Roots musician Rocky Dawuni has been nominated for a Grammy Award for the fourth time, securing a spot in the Best Global Music Performance category for the 67th edition of the prestigious awards. The recognition comes for his song Rise, which will compete against works by internationally acclaimed artists, including Angélique Kidjo & Soweto Gospel Choir (Sunlight to My Soul), Arooj Aftab (Raat Ki Rani), Jacob Collier featuring Anoushka Shankar & Varijashree Venugopal (A Rock Somewhere), Masa Takumi featuring Ron Korb, Noshir Mody & Dale Edward Chung (Kashira), and Sheila E. featuring Gloria Estefan & Mimy Succar (Bemba Colorá).
This marks Dawuni’s fourth Grammy nomination. In 2022, his album Voice of Bunbon Vol. 1 was nominated for Best Global Music Album, following his 2015 Grammy nomination for Best Reggae Album with Branches of The Same Tree.
Meanwhile, the Best African Music Performance category features African superstars such as Asake & Wizkid (MMS), Burna Boy (Higher), Chris Brown featuring Davido & Lojay (Sensational), Tems (Love Me JeJe), and Yemi Alade (Tomorrow).
