RURAL GRANNY FINALLY HITS THE BIG TIME Latozi “Madosini” Mpahleni, sometimes referred as Madosini (named after her Dosini clan name) Manqineni, a master story teller, composer and musician, was born on the 2nd February 1943, in Mthatha, in a village called KwaDlomo near Mpheko in the Eastern Cape in South Africa. At the age of about fourteen, her family moved to Mkankato, a village near Libode. From a mud hut in rural Transkei to the top hotels in Europe. It may have taken the "queen of Xhosa music" more than 50 years to become a star, but for Madosini it was never about the money or fame and fortune. In a place where a radio is a luxury, batteries expensive and electricity and running water a pipe dream, a 60 something granny – who has spent her whole life playing traditional Xhosa music for the villagers – has inspired her neighbours by cutting a CD entitled Power to the Women and touring Sweden. Even though Madosini has stayed in the top hotels and played to packed houses in Europe with Cape Town based Amampondo group, she still collects her own water every day from a nearby spring, sleeps on a mat and regularly rubs dung into her hut floor to prevent it cracking. "I'm still very much a rural woman. It was never about making money or getting rich, I have been playing traditional Xhosa music my whole life and wanted to save our heritage and tradition." Sitting in the shadow of a new brick house that is being built next to her simple mud hut with money she has earned touring, the Queen of Xhosa music told Drum magazine that she never ever thought she would be paid for making music. Like most girls growing up in rural Transkei in the 1940’s, Madosini was taught how to play the uhadi (musical bow), umrhubhe (mouth bow) and isistoloto (Jewish Harp) by her mother.

Nowadays the traditions we lived by are dying and people are no longer telling stories and making music. I had to try my best to keep it all alive.” But, since Madosini cut her first CD and went overseas, the village has now realised the importance of saving the dying traditions and the kids flock to her hut every day to learn and listen. “Umrhubhe was played by young girls when they travelled long distances and during women's initiation. Uhadi was played after supper for relaxation and the isitolotolo to soothe babies and tired people to help them sleep. When I play umrhube I think of the days I used to sit and relax with my boyfriend in the cave by the riverside. I really feel young when I play it. I even forget that I have grey hair and that my face and neck is full of pleated wrinkles. Then I look in the mirror and realise I am old.” Famous for her love songs, Madosini looked more like she was about to go hunting in the nearby hills when she came out of her hut carrying what looked more like a bow and arrow. But, putting the bow to her mouth and running a stick over the taut wire put an end to the hunting theory as a violin type melody started to fill the air. Although illiterate, the greying musician also managed to conduct music and instrument making workshops – using an interpreter – during her trip to Sweden. Living in plush hotels in Sweden, with heavy drapes, thick carpets, running water and room service was a culture shock for Madosini and worlds away from her simple mud hut - which is often invaded by sheep eager for a free meal of millet. But, for 20 years Madosini did not pick up her instruments and the art of traditional Xhosa music almost died in the area after the talented musician was ripped off by a film crew who paid her R8 and stole her songs. In the area to shoot a film called uMaxhosa in 1974, Madosini was employed by the film crew at a R1 a day to cook massive pots of food. The crew heard that she played music and told her to play for them after filming – earning a further R1 tip. The crew then left the area. “When they came back months later, they asked me to record my music and gave me R8. Sometime after that my nephew who worked in the mines said he had heard my songs being played on the radio and also used in a play called Aa! Nosizwe on Xhosa Radio. They stole my songs and I got no royalties.” Radio Xhosa used her music for 15 years in their short stories without any credits or royalties and the meeting with the “abelungu” film crew has still left a bitter taste. She is now trying to claim the money. Pointing to a nearby hill, the Queen of Xhosa music said the crew had taped her music there and then left. She then stopped playing for 20 years and only restarted after a chance meeting with Amampondo musician, Dizu Plaatjies – in 1994.

She finally gave in and met Trunz in December 1997 – changing her life forever. Madosini's solo album ‘Power To the Women’ (BW108) was released to great acclaim and firmly placed her amongst the remarkable stars of World Music. Madosini has sinced toured the globe with Amampondo and more recently she attended a series of WOMAD festivals in the UK, Australia, Singapore and many more. She was the first person to be recorded and documented in the festival's Musical Elders Archives project in 2008. Madosini’s music is used on many documentaries and films and samples of her music are used by popular groups. One of Madosini’s popular song ‘Uthando Luphelile’ which talks about lost love and was used in the prize winning film, ‘Yesterday’ about Aids in South Africa. Madosini mentored Thandiswa Mazwai, a major pop star in South Africa, a member of the leading kwaito group Bongo Maffin, during Thandiswa’s pilgrimage to Mkankato for two weeks. Madosini worked with Thandiswa in the short film ‘Spirit of Uhadi’ and her album ‘Zabalaza’. Madosini collaborated with a number of other artists. MadoJazz One is one of the collaboration groups made up of Hilton Schilder (plays keyboards); Johnny Blundell (plays guitar) and Pedro “Musicman” Espi-Sanchis plays Lekgodilo flute. Together as Madojazz they extended traditional African Music into the realm of Jazz. Madosini’s music is no artificial tradition or dry reconstruction of something gone by. She carries within her a spirit, which is rarely found anymore in these times of cultural reduction into majority-pleasing, artificial main-stream sell-outs, but which deserves all the more to be nurtured by those who care for life's fully abundant, varied and diverse expressions. She currently lives in a single room in an old hostel in the heart of Langa with 6 other adults, and 4 children under the age of 6. But her music that opens the mind to the wide sky of the Transkei, her poetry sings of the green hills and snow covered mountains, and if you close your eyes, you can feel the heat of the traditional fire, the sparks drifting to the heavens, and the calming hands of the ancestors on your shoulders.
