*** SEE ALL THE PICS HERE ***

On Saturday 2 May the 15th Annual MTN South African Music Awards ignited Mzanzi music’s biggest night at the Sun City Super Bowl. It was an all-out celebration of everything amazing about SA music. Mzansi’s musicians came together to reveal their shared love of a good groove, and this was evident from the evening’s opening number: a power-packed tribute to the late Miriam Makeba performed by GoldFish, Bhekumuzi Luthuli and Zamajobe. Da L.E.S took on Slikour in an all-out hip hop showdown. In addition there were unique, electrifying performances from Prime Circle, Big Nuz (along with teen violin sensation Incha) and the Rhythmic Elements.
