Les prestations de la soirée ont été hautement collaboratives: Fally Ipupa a été rejoint par Iyadede sur scène pour interprété son tube Chaise Electrique, puis par Les Belles d'Afrique pour son très célèbre Sexy Dance. Blitz the ambassadeur a également rejoint Les Nubians sur scène pour un morceau à trois.

Le Sénégal domine la compétition avec la magnifique Viviane Ndour, qui a reçu trois récompenses qui sont : Artiste féminine de l'année, meilleur vidéoclip pour Sama Champion et chanson d’Afro-rythme de l'année pour Fima Tollu. Fally Ipupa a émergé comme Artiste de l'année, ainsi que gagnant du prix de la meilleure collaboration africaine avec le Nigerian J. Martins pour le très populaire remix Jukpa, ainsi que la chanson populaire de l'année pour la chanson sexy Danse. Le Nigéria a également eu beaucoup de gagnants, y compris 2Face Idibia dans la categorie Artiste masculin de l'année et P-Square gagnants du Groupe de l'année. Il y avait des gagnants de chaque sous-région africaine, ainsi que la diaspora. La liste complète des gagnants peut être trouvée sur moamas.com.

Ato Ulzen-Appiah, PDG de Museke Inc, s'enthousiasme: «Nous sommes tous fiers d'honorer le meilleur de la musique africaine de l'année dernière et ce fut un jour monumental de continuer à promouvoir la musique africaine a tout les fans de musique. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié la collaboration et les divers intervenants dans le réseau de l'industrie musicale africaine ".

Avec Afrotainment, Eric Noue a une fois de plus parlé du succès de l'émission: "Nous sommes enthousiasmés par le fait que nous étions capables de traduire une vision en réalité à travers un spectacle inédit qui a été diffusé en direct sur la télévision nationale aux États-Unis et en streaming dans le monde entier sur Internet. Nous saisissons également cette occasion pour remercier nos commanditaires principaux: Western Union, Arik Air et Dish Network qui ont décidé de venir avec nous dans ce voyage "

Senegal dominated the award winners, led by the gorgeous Viviane Ndour, who finished with three awards - Female Artist of the Year, best music video for Sama Champion and Afro- rhythms song of the year for Fima Tollu. Fally Ipupa emerged as Artist of the year, as well as sharing the Best African collaboration award with Nigeria’s J. Martins for the still highly popular remix to the latter’s Jukpa banger, as well as Popular Song of the Year for his dance floor special, Sexy Dance.
