Every year, the MTN South African music awards boast such a dazzling constellation of stars that this year two double CDs are being released, featuring a comprehensive selection of super hot cuts by MTN SAMA 18 nominees.
The official MTN SAMA 18nominees CDs are on sale now at major music outlets nationwide. distributed by Gallo Records Company
The two double CD sets which boast a combined 77 tracks are being sold separately, but lovers of South African music would be well advised to pick up both to gain access to the full spectrum of the sensational sounds that rocked the local airwaves during 2011. Each double disc set of covers a number of genres. The first one, with a cool 41 tracks, featuring street urban sounds, as well as kwaito, jazz, African adult contemporary, faith based music, maskandi and collaborations.
Ranging from dance floor killers to super smooth ballads, it includes artists such as Zahara, Lira, Big nuz, HHP and other well known South African artists.
The second double CD feature a potpourri of rock, pop, adult contemporary, classical, sokkie, alternative and dance music-36 potent tracks in all.
Expect a bonanza of multi-genre Afrikaans tracks by the likes of Jack Parow, snotkop, Joe Niemand and other Afrikaner artists.
The SAMA committee and the recording industry of South Africa (RISA) wanted to make the music of the 18th MTN SAMAs accessible to the multifaceted markets in our dynamic country. That is why they decided to create two separate, genre specific compilation of nominee allowing fans to choose their favourite, or pick both.
South African music awards, MTN Samma organisers need to start giving us a show and have people organised so that we stage an exceptional event that will motivate our artists to do better and grow the music market!! I'm a big lover of music and its not nice when music is taken lightly but artists are crying about sales numbers not growing at all. Stop begging and deliver thats what I say. MTN Samma awards need to be entertaining with crazy South African talent.
ReplyDeleteDo you think the SAMA gives all artist the opportunity to be recognised and make their music a success?
ReplyDeleteIts all well and good that the SAMA organisers have decided to release the cd, which is going to do wonders for the hype prior the event. It is a morale booster, my only cocern is the piracy issue that why should people go buy the double cd as to when they can just take a few tracks from the different artist's album; and make a joint track considering how easy technology has made it to be (particularly the WEB2.0). One might ask themselves on whether is it to push sales as far as the contracted recording label is concerned or just merely for the love of the industry? I would appreciate a live DVD and relive the extravagansa...MokD
ReplyDeleteThe Sama organisers need to explore more African shows that keep us motivated and well impressed about watching the awards or being part of them.All artist must be given a chance to show up their talents and skills for them to be well recognised.
ReplyDeleteGoing to the SAMA's has ever been a huge event, do you think the presenting of the awards is in a formal and respected manner?
ReplyDeleteSAMA'z for me hv bn huge bt i alwayz had a problem with th live perfomances en th collaborationz,i think in tht area thy cn do more
ReplyDeleteAll artist must be given opportunity to peform at SAMA'S award, not the some people everytime.
ReplyDeleteyep they should acknowledge everyone in the music indusry. They presented in a respected manner but formally i dont think so. the are trying to explore more African shows/artists rather even though they haven't reached some parts.
ReplyDeleteALL MUSICIANS OR ARTIST NEED TO BE GIVEN OPPORTUNITIES TO SHOW THEIR TALENTS TO PUBLICS,WHAT ROLE DO SAMA'S PLAY IN SOUTH AFRICAN PEOPLE?
