It is a fitting tribute to the legacy of African Heritage founder Alan Donovan that just a week before his death on December 5 he received the news that one of the musical bands that he mentored had received a Grammy Award nomination.

Jabali Afrika, the group that first went on a world tour with Donovan’s African Heritage in 1995, has been nominated in the Best Children’s Music Album category for the 64th Grammy Awards that will be announced in January 2022.
