SAMA nominee list – MORAFE for Urban Pop!
The 13th SAMA nominees have been announced…Maybe we don’t listen to enough radio or maybe we listen to the wrong stations or maybe we know the songs and not the artists names, or maybe the music we’ve been loving all year didn’t qualify or wasn’t entered but the list seems a little obscure for us. But then again it’s the SAMA’s. Any thoughts Representers? Good Luck to all the nominees and we look forward to another glittering event.
Anyway we are very proud of our boys MORAFE who got a nomination in the intruiging category of “Best Urban Pop Album” and we wish the magents from Motswako Republic all the best of luck!
Here’s the list of the categories we’re interested in. We’ve starred who we would like to win – JUST BECAUSE WE CAN – let’s see what happens!
