Celebrating South African sound
The Recording Industry of South Africa (RiSA) announced the SAMA 2025 nominees on Thursday in Gauteng.
A total of 25 categories were unveiled, with a further five still to come in September.
SAMA spokesperson Unati Gwija described the 31st annual awards, set for November, as “a symphony of South African sound”.
“It is the wisdom of age meeting the exuberance of youth, as emerging voices and established icons go head-to-head across categories,” Gwija said.
“From amapiano trailblazers to jazz virtuosos, gospel powerhouses to hip hop poets, we are living through a golden era where boundaries blur and music reigns supreme.”
