| MTN title sponsor for the awards |
Whether you refer to it as Kwaito, Gospel, Jazz, RnB, House, Maskandi, Contemporary, Sokkie or Pop at the end of the day its all music. Well for me music is important because its something that relaxes me when I am under stress.
On the 29th (Sunday) and 30th (Monday) of April 2012 the 18th MTN SAMA (South African Music Awards) took place at the Sun City Resort in North West. This is an annual event which takes place between April or May, this event was established in 1995. Basically the aim of this event is to show the musicians, producersand everyone else who worked on the album that their hard work is recognised and appreciated. Winners receive a statuette which is called a SAMA.
Events like this one should be planned, directed, managed and co-ordinated. Budgets need to be drafted, wide and effective relationships need to be built with the sponsors of the event and through marketing and advertising the target audience should be informed about the eventweeks or months before the day of the event. Seeing that the SAMA awards events was a success I believe that it was well organised and well advertised.
this year's awards were planned properly. It was so good to see local musicians recognised for their talents, but can't the organising team change the venue, its always Sun City I think its time to explore other places
ReplyDeleteYes Loyiso when they are recognised for their talents im sure that motivates them to work harder. May next time the awards should be in Durban or Cape Town
Deletewell planned event indeed.Other MC's were boring though but the stage was really nice.
ReplyDeleteThe Super Bowl is a very nice venue. I think they should have added more performances on stage
DeleteYes indeed this year the SAMA awards were better compare to last year it really shows that the organizers really listened the complaints of viewers and music fans.
ReplyDeleteAnd it shows that great planning leads to a successful event
DeleteWell organised indeed! I'm just worried that one of the hosts (Unathi), for the night made a very insulting remark! kids were watching the show for someone's sake!
ReplyDeleteYes I heard that Nic, but they arguing that she said that after 9pm and the kids should have been sleeping but to think about it kids nowadays sleep very late
DeleteThe aim for the SAMA's is to recognise and appreciate our very own Music. For me I say, they did a good job this year. Big up to local music and the producers who have worked hard, they deserve the trophy.
ReplyDeleteYes Mbali that true we should appreciate and support our own artists because if we dont then who will,they need our support.
DeleteI say big ups to Randall, the production was on point.
