| SAMA Awards where artist effords are reflected.www.Sabc.co.za |
In South Africa we have different kind of music such as local hippo, kwaito , jazz, Afro jazz, house, Masacandi and many more, but the success of each list must be counted in terms of its effort which is recognize during awards ceremonies. During the awards ceremonies many artist able to see how much support they have in term of voting and the most download. I think the MTN South African Music Awards has a big change in terms of winning categories if you may look the following from the past to the current SAMA Awards, but I will look only the records of the year
· In 1999 it was Brenda Fassie (African pop)
· 2004 by Mzekezeke Akekho uGogo (Kwaito)
· 2005 by Brown Dash for Phansi Komthunzi welanga (Kwaito again)
· 2006 by Ntando for Dali wami (Afro Jazz)
· 2007 by Dj Sbu for Remember when it rained (house)
· 2008 by Dj Sdunkero for Maputo Song (house)
· 2009 by Rhythmic element for 2by2 ( Urban house)
· 2010 by Big Nuz for Umlilo (Kwaito)
· 2011 by liquid deep for Fabris of the heart (house)
· 2012 by ZAhara for loliwe ( Afro Jazz)
I do agree that the reason house music dominate the categories is that most parties house music take the event to the top, which makes the youth vote and download, and in terms of winning the record of the year depend on the time the artist release the album for example Zahara. for more info;samusicawards.co.za
