SAMW spreads its wings to embrace SADC and Canadian musical talent in year two of this charttopping networking event. Johannesburg, 05 October 2022 - South African music is cherished every day by music lovers across the globe, but once a year, South African Music Week (SAMW) ups the ante. SAMW, now in its second year and in partnership with Canadian Music Week, will take place from 16 – 18 November at the Soweto Theatre.

The music week shares South Africa’s extraordinary music talent with locals and international markets and vice versa in a cross-border-exchange of networking, panels discussions and performances – and it is free to attend. Since the days of soulful Mbube by Solomon Linda and funky vibes of Kwela music by Spokes Mashiyane - South Africa has been the toast of the music world through eforts of - among others - Hugh Masekela, Miriam Makeba, Ladysmith Black Mambazo and lately, DJ Black Cofee and Master KG.
