Kenyan music power couple Nameless and Wahu have joined other A-list artists who have been nominated for the eighth edition of the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCAs).
Their reality show titled ‘This Love’ is among the productions nominated under the best documentary category.
Others in the same category are ‘Road2Blow’, ‘Unmasked’, ‘Sunset In Makoko’, ‘If Objects Could Speak’ and ‘Streets of Lagos: Dear Little People.’
“We are delighted that ‘This Love’ has been recognised as one of the best documentaries to be produced in Africa.”
“This nomination is testament to the brilliant partnership we have had with Nameless and Wahu throughout the production process and the world class work from the D&RTV team that put it all together,” the show’s Executive Producer and D&RTV Managing Director Eugene Mbugua said.
The show, which debuted on January 16, takes viewers behind the scenes of their collaboration on their first music project together.
“The objective of this show was to give viewers a fresh perspective into the lives of these famous personalities and giving them a platform to tell their epic love story in a unique and unbridled way,” added Mr Mbugua.
