The Pearl of Africa Music Awards have started showing signs of a come back starting with the launch in Burundi on Saturday. The Awards which were last held in 2008 did not take place in 2009 due to a number of factors that included taking the organizers to court and threatening to close the company permanently.

They later agreed to some terms with some of the shareholders being compensated and now we are yet to have the 2009 version of the awards in 2010. Juliana Kanyomozi was the Artiste of the year. She also took the award for best female artiste while Bebe Cool took Best Male Artiste. The full list of other winners can be viewed from here: PAM Awards 2008 Winners

In the 2008 Awards, The Goodlyfe Boyz were the best New Artiste and had the 2009 versions taken place in 2009 where they had hit after hit, they could have taken most of the slots that were available in their categories.

They still appear to be unsolvable after redoing Chance Nalubega's 'Abatesi'
