| 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
There is no party without house music, youth loves house and most of the votes comes from them
ReplyDeleteTrue Mxolisi and the fact that we youngsters are more advanced in using technology unlike the adult generation, so even if they wanted to vote they'll be discouraged because they have no clue where to start.
ReplyDeleteAll this are true,but how is The SAMA award helping us as a nation.Do we have some benefits or is this just for fun?The artists are great and the local people support them that all I can say for now and I need to know more about this,because I am interested in Music Industry.
ReplyDeleteJa true that Mxolisi...house has played a huge role in the music industry and it seems getting better and better everytime.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, nowadays and kwaito music make no sense. what happened to meaningful messages eg. hlogoloza, what does that mean? Some musicians write music for fun and forget about what we want to hear, meaningful sounds.
ReplyDeletei have to agree with mxolisi, house music has taken over, kwaito is dead no one buys nor listen to it.
ReplyDeleteits all about going with the times, kwaito has been pushed out of the way, its house music turn, who knows house will also be pushed out of the way also
ReplyDeleteI can even say kwaito is really dead but it is stil alive within some of its fans just like myself. These awards ceremonies should even recognise and take into account the importance for Traditional music artists in order to reserve our culturalism.
ReplyDeletei think the reason for house to dorminate other categories is because nowadays people like to party a lot and enjoy it more
ReplyDeleteh0ouse music is the best, as the youth we want to see ourselves out and about in clubs, parties and inoder to have fun we need the music that will go with it hence kwaito is the most supported and it does not only create the mood but it lifts our moods up on sad days
ReplyDeleteTrot the reason house music has being so dominant thorughout the years at the SAMA awards is because pepole love it but again is because South African House music is rated as one of the best production of house music in the world, it is rated 5th on the world rankings, hence it has being getting such reviews at the SAMA awards.
ReplyDeletehouse music is dominant because we are the voters and most of us love it
ReplyDeleteI think events like the summere awards are essenial in the music business because artist that make music for the love of it are rewarded. although at times I think the voting processes are tempered with, because really deserving people walk away empty handed.
ReplyDeleteHouse music if you can listen it carefully is localised that is why dominates everywhere. And has alarger number of follower or audience.
ReplyDeletemost music fan are in love with house music, it will always take the lead or come second in awards.
