SAPMAs: We can never have enough platforms to celebrate the work of creatives in the music industry. For over 20 years artists have complained about being overlooked and not receiving the recognition they deserve for their music and talent, especially when it comes to awards ceremonies!

The public also shares the same sentiments- as year after year, many of their favorite artists with popular music don’t get the recognition, let alone be nominated or receive an award for the quality and good music they have produced and released. – SAPMAs.

BUT that will soon be a thing of the past as the South African Popular Music Awards 2021 (SAPMAs) also known as #Popular- is changing the rules of the game by allowing musicians and the public to have a voice and be heard, as they nominate artists and music that speaks to them. For centuries our ancestors used music as a communication tool and to date, it is still a big and important part of our DNA.

“SAPMAs are here to take up space as genuine game-changers- it won’t be business as usual. This is a platform created to celebrate artists without bias and favor, it’s about the people and popular genres that speak to our market,” says Mathawe Matsapola, Head of Communications.

Entries for the awards will open as from 25 February until 26 April for singles and albums commercially released between 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2020. – SAPMAs.

“Anyone is eligible to submit entries and public participation is at the core of the awards, from submitting entries to voting for the overall winners together with a panel of judges,” says Mathawe adding that submitting criteria and processes will be announced soon and that “no entry fee is required. The only requirement is that the music must be popular”. – SAPMAs.

#Popular genres to be recognized this year:

  1. Afro
  2. Hip Hop
  3. Mbaqanga/Maskandi
  4. Gospel
  5. Mapiano/Qgom/Kwaito

The aim of the 1st annual awards ceremony is to celebrate 10 years of #popular and great music. Music that still speaks to our people and will continue to speak for the voiceless, while shaping our cultural identity as a nation.
