MOBO At 25: Preview
DJ Ace explores the impact of 25 years of the MOBOs
The Music Of Black Origin Awards - or MOBO Awards for short – were set up to champion black music at a time when the musical landscape looked very different to how it does today. Since then, the MOBO Awards have become a fixture of the UK music calendar.
As MOBO celebrate 25 years, DJ Ace talks to Craig David, Sean Paul, Fuse ODG and Nia Archives – all MOBO winners and nominees – to explore the impact they’ve had on genres like R&B, UKG, dancehall, Afrobeats and dance music and how they’ve evolved as the UK music landscape has changed.
