Another one gone

Brown Dash at the 18th Annual SAMAs

South Africa mourns yet another fallen star. Kwaito artist, Brown Dash has kicked the bucket. He died on the same day that Brenda Fassie passed away on, eight years ago.

 Many saw him performing at the 18th Annual MTN South African Music Awards. The horrible comments that followed on social networks that evening were enough to make one sick. Brown Dash made an amazing contribution to the South African music industry and he will forever be remembered as that young man who made a lot of hits with Mzekezeke.R.I.P. Brown Dash.

Show some respect!

Award-winning musician, Zahara

The English have Adele and we have Zahara. Red dress, big afro, stunning voice... This girl gave an amazing performance of her hit song, Loliwe, this Monday at this year's South African Music Awards and to top it all, she took home eight awards. Such talent! Could she be another local 'one hit wonder'? I would like to believe that she has more to offer.

The awards were hosted by a number of people, Arthur Mafokate being one of them and boy, did he look handsome in that suit, man! The new management under South African Idols judge, Randall Abraham, did an amazing job. There were a few dull moments, but it's nothing that cannot be fixed. What I loved is that the Lifetime achivement award went to people that are still alive, unlike in the past when it was given to honour people that have already passed on. It was a great show to watch and very exciting to see that music does unite people. We do it for the love of music. samusicawards.co.za/
