Alternative music gets snubbed at biggest Afrikaans award show

Cape Town – Huisgenoot on Friday announced the nominees for this year’s Huisgenoot Tempo Awards.

The list is jam-packed with the cream of Afrikaans artists except for one glaring exclusion from the list.

All the alternative Afrikaans musos were snubbed after the "best alternative album of the year" category was removed from the long list.

Die Heuwels Fantasties took home the trophy at last year’s award show. Huisgenoot has been embracing more alternative music in recent years and even invited Die Heuwels Fantasties onto the Skouspel stage.

According to the publication some music categories had to be removed from the list to make place for the TV and movie categories. The "best instrumental album" and "best children's album" categories were also cut.

The winners of the Tempo Awards will be announced at a glitzy ceremony at Emperors Palace on 3 June.
