Fashioning Modern Africanism

South African singer Tyla won a Grammy in the category of Best African Music Performance on Sunday. The artist won the award for her afropiano and R&B song  Water , which has reached global popularity and made various achievements. Tyla beat other African stars, including Burna Boy, Ayra Starr, ASAKE & Olamide and Davido featuring South African artist Musa Keys.  Tyla's hit single "Water" peaked last month at number 7 on  the Billboard Hot 100 chart . "Oh my - what the heck!" Tyla said at the start of her acceptance speech. "Oh my gosh, guys. This is crazy. Like I never thought I'd say, 'I won a Grammy at 22 years old, guys'," she said. The Recording Academy did not make Tyla sweat as the Johannesburg-born singer took home the Grammy for Best African Music Performance in the category's first year.
