Since 2005, the SATMA’s have brought all races & ethnic groups together through the celebration of our diverse music that transcends tribal, racial and geographic lines. It is among the top two best selling music genres in the country. In fact it outsells most music genres including those that are considered “pop (popular) music” by the media.
Traditional music has been neglected in terms of prominence in mainstream media. It hasn’t been given the respect and recognition it deserves.
SATMA Awards place traditional music in its rightful place, at the forefront of SA’s cultural heritage.
The SATMA’s slogan, “My Culture Your Culture, One Nation” is SATMA’s call for unity amongst South African ethnic and racial groups as well as Africans in the Diaspora through Traditional Music.
The National Heritage Council (NHC) is the custodians of the SATMA’s. The NHC is an overseer as well as primary fundraisers for the SATMA Awards.
Ingwe Mabalabala Communications was appointed by NHC to facilitate and coordinate the SATMA Awards.
The National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund is the Principal Funder of the SATMA Awards.
