Who can win the Anděl awards this year? The most nominations go to rappers Gufrau and Victor Kal
Rappers Gufrau and Victor Kal lead this year's Anděl award nominations, with three chances each.
The Anděl awards, presented by the Czech Music Academy (ČHA), see a significant presence of the rap genre this year with Gufrau and Victor Kal each holding three nominations. They are contenders for awards in categories such as Discovery, Collaborative Project, and for their song 'Navždycky blázen', which features rapper Rohony. Other artists making notable appearances include Michal Prokop and Framus Five, Ben Cristovao, and several others who have garnered two nominations each due to the voting of the academy members in the second round.
The awards ceremony is set to take place on April 11, 2025, at the Křižík Pavilions in Prague, where hosts Libor Bouček and Martin "Mikýř" Mikyska will guide the event. The decision regarding the winners across 15 categories will be made in the third round of voting by ČHA members, with a notable exception of the Hall of Fame, whose 2025 laureate has already been determined and will be announced alongside the winners in April. This year’s nominations showcase a diverse array of talents within the Czech music scene, emphasizing evolving genres and collaborations.
The nominations highlight not only the popularity of rap in Czech music but also the potential for a broader recognition of artists operating outside of mainstream music trends. As the ceremony approaches, the excitement builds around who will capture the coveted Angel statuette, representing excellence in Czech music for the chosen year.
