Nneka Wins MOBO For Best African Act



Nigerian artist Nneka was presented with the MOBO for Best African Act last night, rising above stiff competition that included Amadou & Mariam, Baaba Maal, Femi Kuti and DJ Mujava.

The award comes at the end of an amazing year for Nneka, which saw the UK release of her second album 'No Longer At Ease'. Well supported by music critics it also saw lead single 'Heartbeat' added to the BBC Radio 1 A List.

Nneka returns to the UK for a tour in November.
