A Ghoema Award – or Ghoema – is an accolade by the Ghoema Trust to recognize outstanding achievement in the Afrikaans Music Industry. It is the only independent music award ceremony of its sort in South Africa. The event was established in 2012. The ceremony is held in March every year and contenders are judged on performances made in the previous year. The show is broadcast on KykNET. ==Background of the Ghoema Music Awards== A Ghoema is a barrel-shaped drum, originally played by the Cape Malay People and commonly associated with the Cape Minstrels. It produces rhythmic sounds and beats that are uplifting and described by the Minstrels as colourful. It is this correlation with the Ghoema that the descission was made to set up the Ghoema Music Trust. The Ghoema Music Awards (Ghoema's) is the official independent awards ceremony where artists, bands, musicians and songwriters of the Afrikaans music industry will be honored for certain achievements over a specific period. The Ghoema's functions without any exclusive naming rights and/or decision by the national press and media, or any record company. Record Companies and the press and media are in partnership to promote the Ghoema Music Awards, ensure that the awards are executed and to ensure that the awards get the necessary exposure as agreed upon by all parties involved. The Ghoema Music Awards accolades are made after a free and fair consistent enrollment process, nominations, followed by a voting process which includes public voting and a judging panel consisting of industry experts. An accredited auditing firm is responsible for all ballot papers, from both the elected judges and public votes, to ensure the voting process is transparent. The Ghoema Music Awards is the initiative of Barry Pretorius, but is owned by the Ghoema Music Trust consisting of certain trustee's with the awards ceremony and winners thereof as beneficiaries of the trust. The Ghoema's is not owned by a business entity and/or individuals. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ghoema Music Awards」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
