indie-pop trio Beatenberg made me applaud when I heard on Highveld FM this
morning, that they scooped a total of six awards at the XXI Annual South
African Music Awards on Sunday night. I mean that is seriously impressive,
these guys came in with their hit single Pluto
(Remember You) with DJ Clock in 2013. Damn that song was on another level,
the instant I heard it, I was like” I got to have that song” the instrumentals
blended in really well, it just goes to show what a great Disk Jockey, DJ Clock
is. I have to admit though, I thought the song belonged to Liquid deep mainly
because the vocals sounded similar to Zyon’s and when I actually saw the video,
I was star-struck. It is no surprise that the song was named Best Selling
Ring-back Tone and Best Selling Full-track Download, and also received the
SAMPRA Award for Highest Airplay of the Year. Yah neh, if it is your time, it
is.
Never
in my life have I witnessed such a triumphant moment. Just weeks ago, we were
all telling people who do not necessarily add value to our lives (yeah I know
we all have those people we just wanna get rid off)to PHUMAKIM! that was
everyone’s anthem as a result of Cassper Nyovest’s victory lap of scooping 5
metro awards. I am very certain that none of us thought nobody would come as
close and actually win more than Cassper’s awards but guess what, Beatenberg did.
Now,
for those who have no idea what Beatenberg is,

comprises of those sexy guys. These guys rose to fame in 2013, and among the
awards they won last night, Album of the Year for The Hanging Gardens of Beatenberg album and Duo or Group of the Year
award are included. I am gonna be on the look out for Beatenburg’s coming album
and will make sure I spread the word and I trust you MuziQvillaz to do the
same.
For the
funny comment on social media the jacket that AKA wore to the SAMAs could
have never went unnoticed, but the
comment that Percivale Young made on
Twitter @Percyoung got me rolling on the floor.
This
is what she said: ‘How can AKA's jacket have lights while the rest of us are
experiencing #loadshedding ??? #SAMAXXI”…LMAO..now take a look at AKA’S
attention seeking jacket.
YAH
NEH, This was the day hey. With that stunt being pulled, congratulations to all
the winners, and to Beatenberg, it is only the beginning, the best is yet to
come.
