Season 5

Now on SABC3, having spent the last four seasons on SABC2, the premise of the show – two musicians from different musical genres who get together for two days (three in previous seasons) to write, rehearse and record a song together - remains mainly unchanged, with a few minor tweaks to the format.

The new season sees some minor format changes as well as half-hour episodes as opposed to the previous one-hour show. This has allowed the filmmakers to move from a more documentary-style approach to a fast-paced pop programme.

The fifth season includes artists as diverse as Mango Groove, The Soil, Ready D, Jack Parow, Francois van Coke, Emtee, Ringo, Shortstraw, SAI & Ribatone, Sibot, Mandoza, DJ Shimza and a host of others. The 52 artists collaborating in the 26 episodes represent the wide footprint of the South African music industry.

The show, which puts together musicians from opposing sides of the musical spectrum for two days during which they must write, rehearse and record a song together, was filmed in Johannesburg and Cape Town. Two studios, openroom in Greenside and Milestone Studios in Cape Town were used for the final recordings.

The programme was originally conceived in 2007 as a way to bridge the huge divide between South African musicians. The show has a strong and vocal following that is quick to praise and criticise perceived mistakes and successes of the musicians on air.

Jam Sandwich has won four South African Film and Television awards in three different categories: Best Music show, Best Reality show and Best Concept and Script.
