I've highlighted a few of my fave categories and some artists who have made and will continue to make a splash on the international scene - and with six degrees of separation we can see how it all links together!
1. Blk Jks (pronounced Black Jacks), won Best Alternative Music Album: English for their album After Robots. They have been making waves from the US to SA so def worth keeping an eye on if you haven't already come across them!
2. Black Coffee - a SA DJ who has earned his stripes many times over. He walked away with Best Male Artist and Best Urban Dance Album for his third album entitled Home Brewed.
3. Home is one of Louise Carver's songs which she sang live at the SAMAs while she played a gorgeous grand piano. Kahn from The Parlotones accompanied her by harmonising to her track. Louise has recently released a new album and her first single Warrior is a collaboration with Zuluboy.
4. Zuluboy presented the award for Best Rock Album: English which went to The Parlotones for their third album Stardust Galaxies.
5. The Parlotones also walked away with Best Music Video for their second single off Stardust Galaxies for Push Me To The Floor.
6. Push Me To The Floor was also performed live at the SAMAs and Louise Carver joined in for this one. Ironically, her song Warrior also includes the exact same line 'push me to the floor'.
Rock on recognition of SA music and SAMAs.
