SA stars create a playlist of their favourite SA's songs ahead of the SAMAs

13 May 2016 |

Refiloe Ramogase, CEO of the SAMAs says that

"Music forms the soundtrack to our lives, it accompanies our defining moments. As South African, I think we don't always appreciate quite how far we've come as a nation musically, and how much we owe to both the pioneers and the current trailblaizers. There's such a rich repository of SA music playing on constant rotation in our heads that we thought it only be fit for the SAMA 22 to pay tribute to this incredible music legacy, while we look forward to saluting the latest crop of industry stars and future legends on 4th June Durban ICC!" channel24
