Also adding star power to the awards ceremony will
be Nigerian sensations Flavour and Tiwa Savage, while urban hit makers Uhuru, Oskido and Professor
will be flying the flag for South Africa. 
They join previously announced African artists
Davido (Nigeria) and Mafikizolo (South Africa) at the stunning

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
Commenting on his involvement in the MAMA, Miguel said, "What I love most about Africa is the people and
the spirit there.  What makes me most
proud to be involved in the MAMA is
the feeling that my music has reached further than I imagined it could…it's inspiring.”<o:p></o:p></div>

Picked as one of Time Magazine’s “Most Influential
People” in 2013, Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, and producer Miguel has become one of the genre’s
most significant artists thanks to his personal brand of daring, soulful and
emotionally authentic R&B, tinged with traces of avant garde hip-hop, funk,
soul, electro and classic rock. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Since his breakthrough year in 2010 with hit song "All
I Want Is You", Miguel has gone
on to deliver chart-climbing songs. In October 2012, Miguel released a second album “Kaleidoscope Dreams” to tremendous
critical acclaim; the single "Adorn" became his second number one
R&B single and won him the Grammy for Best R&B Song (2012).  Miguel is currently working his new album,
due to be released later this year.<o:p></o:p></div>
