AGA KHAN MUSIC AWARDS: 2020-2022 CYCLE

Laureates of the 2022 Aga Khan Music Awards have been announced. The triennial Awards, established by His Highness the Aga Khan in 2018, recognise exceptional creativity, promise and enterprise in music in societies across the world in which Muslims have a significant presence. The Awards reflect His Highness’s conviction that music can serve as a cultural anchor, deepening a sense of community, identity and heritage, while simultaneously reaching out in powerful ways to people of different backgrounds.

This cycle’s 16 laureates, selected from a geographically and culturally diverse pool of close to 400 nominations, include 10 winners, five artists who received special mentions, and the recipient of the special Award. The laureates will share a prize fund of $500,000 and collaborate with the Music Awards to expand the impact of their work and develop their careers.
