The NAMAs are officially making their return, and after the launch night, there was plenty to talk about.

In this episode, we unpack the return of the Namibia Annual Music Awards and what this new chapter could mean for Namibian music. We talk about the launch, the new direction, what we want to see from the awards when they return, and the role the NAMAs can play in celebrating and supporting local artists.

From the format and production to the artists, performances and overall experience, we get into the conversation around what would make the return feel fresh, exciting and truly reflective of where Namibian music is today.

The NAMAs return on 13 March 2027. What do you want to see?
