The South African Traditional Music Achievement (SATMA) Awards are a platform to celebrate and honour traditional music.
The aim is to preserve and advance South Africa's colourful and vibrant cultural heritage by showcasing and celebrating traditional music genres with an annual event that recognises and honours South Africa's best traditional music talent.
Since 2005, the SATMAs have brought all races and ethnic groups together through the celebration of Mzansi's diverse music that transcends tribal, racial and geographic lines.
The SATMAs slogan - "My Culture Your Culture, One Nation" - is SATMAs call for unity amongst South African ethnic and racial groups as well as Africans in the diaspora through traditional music.
The theme for the 12th annual SATMA event is "Celebrating Legends", whereby traditional music will be acknowledged and celebrated for preserving and exhibiting indigenous music of South Africa.
