Tyla took home the award for Best African Music Performance for \u201cPUSH 2 START.\u201d The win follows her 2025 Grammy success with \u201cWater,\u201d placing her among the few African artists to secure back-to-back wins in the category.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tyla\u2019s win signals the continued global appetite for African music that balances local rhythm with international pop structures. For South Africa and the continent more broadly, the result underscores how African artists are not only competing but consistently winning in global award spaces, on their own sonic terms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With \u201cPUSH 2 START,\u201d Tyla extends her Grammy legacy and strengthens her position as one of Africa\u2019s most influential global pop voices today.<\/p>\n<p
