As reported on the official site, Jamiroquai won the best album award at the MOBO (Music Of Black Origin) awards held on Monday. BBC Radio 1 reported the event as follows: Jamiroquai won Best Album for "Travelling Without Moving" - a real honour for frontman JK who told THE NET they've had flak from some people who think they're white men doing black music: "The black audience I have is a very important audience to me, y'know and there's alot of street people out there who like Jamiroquai and they continue to like it because it tries to stay true and you gotta remember from the days when rap and funk and back in the 70's and early 80's alot of the stuff was Stateside and it's very difficult for people over in this country to kinda do it and be taken seriously for it".
