# Cimafunk nominated for Artist of the Year by the Urban Music Awards

**Date:** 02/06/2020

This is an awards ceremony for hip hop, R&B, soul music and dance that has existed since 2003, and which is currently held in countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and America.

The awards ceremony will take place on February 14 in the city of London, and will recognize musicians and composers from around the world. Cimafunk will be competing as South America's Artist of the Year, alongside other singers such as Bad Bunny and Becky G; which is why he has urged his fans to vote for him through a post published on his Instagram account.

This category extends to other regions of the world such as the United States (where exponents of the genre compete such as Chris Brown and Drake), Asia, France, the Caribbean, Africa and the United Kingdom.

Some of the artists who have obtained the Urban Music Awards during these 17 years have been Kanye West, Akon, Rihanna, Jay Z, Amy Winehouse, Sean Paul, Avicii and Diplo. Cimafunk could be the first Cuban to obtain it.
