The Southern African Music Rights Organisation (SAMRO) plays a pivotal role in keeping South Africa’s music heritage alive – a role that is underscored by several key initiatives. Among these is SAMRO’s part-sponsorship of the South African Traditional Music Awards (SATMA) that takes place in Durban this weekend and are held to recognize the role played by traditional music in the South African music industry. As a concrete indication of SAMRO’s support for this part of the country’s music terrain, the organization is presenting two high-profile awards at SATMA.” “The South African Traditional Music Awards (SATMA) will be held on 27 September 2008 at the Inkosi Albert Luthuli ICC, in Durban.”
“Indeed the Music Archive at SAMRO holds more than 103,000 scores that have been handed over to the organisation for safekeeping since 1962 – making SAMRO the custodian of the biggest collection of South African music scores in the country. Among these are key South African works by iconic composers including Princess Magogo - Princess Constance Magogo Sibilile Mantithi Ngangezinye ka Dinuzulu - who is widely considered one of the country’s most important composers, as well as works by SAMRO board member and vice-chair, Prof. Mzilikazi Khumalo.” “The South African Traditional Music Awards (SATMA) will be held on 27 September 2008 at the Inkosi Albert Luthuli ICC, in Durban.
