And some Nigerian musicians have been nominated at different times for the awards. It is interesting to note that these nominations have been for the World Best Music Category.

King Sunny Ade has been nominated for the grammy twice. Synchro System [Grammy 1984] It was the second of King Sunny Adé’s three releases for Island Records, following on the heels of 1982’s Juju Music but was not as critically well-received as the first.
