Winner’s Choice

Last edition’s winner @mikinunez​ has chosen their country, which will be...

Uganda!

This would mean Uganda wouldn’t be available to get on the signup day! Keep that in mind and make no mistake by putting it on your form as it wouldn’t be counted.

Addition of Special Guest Territory

Previously we are considering to invite the territories of non-African country in the African continent, and we made a poll asking if the audience would like to have them included. 

As the interest vote have concluded, due to popular demand (and adjustment of suggestions from the poll as well) we are welcoming Special Guest Territories! Please welcome Madeira, France d'outre-mer, and Canary Islands!

As these territories are located in African continent yet connected to countries not part of Africa, they could send songs from its constituent country; this would mean Canary Islands could send songs with artist from Spain, Madeira from Portugal, and France d'outre-mer from France. The rest of the rules around the songs and artists are still applied, however. 

Note that not all of these territories will be competing in an edition, meaning only one of them will be able to participate in one edition of Africavision. A territory will need to cool down for an edition before it can be claimed again. For instance, if Madeira was chosen by someone this edition, the territory wouldn't be able to participate the following edition, leaving the available territories to two selection: Canary Islands and France d'outre-mer; Madeira would then be available again for selection on two editions after it participated.

Ghana Calling - Entry for @africavision

So life got in the way of Ghana’s national finals (little brothers who need you to teach them an A Level you’ve never studied like what?!) so we’ve had to settle for internal selection. 

We’ve selected Efya, a gorgeous multi award winning singer from Kumasi, Ghana. A self-described afrosoul singer, Efya first appeared on the talent show Stars of the Future and has also starred in a Nigerian-Ghanaian romantic comedy: Single and Married.  

The selected song is One Of Your Own from her 2015 album Janesis. It’s fairly beautiful and has a really sweet message.

It has already been determined that Somali-Canadian sister duo FAARROW will represent Somalia at @africavision 2017, but it’s now up to the public to decide which song they will compete with! There are seven candidate songs that voters will need to rate from 0 to 10 based on how much they like the song, 0 being they don’t like the song at all and 10 being they like the song very much. Let’s take a look at the songs that will be competing:

Song #1: Burn

Song #2: Chasing Highs

Song #3: Get It

Song #4: Lost

Song #5: One of Them Nights

Song #6: Shut Up

Song #7: Werk

Below you will find the poll to rate all the songs as well as a Youtube playlist that contains all seven competing entries. Voting is open now and will close on Tuesday, 13 June at 4pm/16:00 CEST (convert to your timezone here). We thank you in advance for voting and hope to see you supporting FAARROW at Africavision 2017!
