Meeting Madosini

 

 

« In a sombre or spirited tune, Madosini blows musical wisdom onto her instruments inciting an emotive response from audiences local and abroad. Born in Mthatha in the Eastern Cape, she is a South African national treasure and one of a few remaining artists of her generation keeping the torch burning for traditional Xhosa music. She is a singer belonging to the Nqcoko Cultural Group specialising in overtone singing and a composer known for playing indigenous instruments such as the Uhadi (music bow), Umrhumbe (mouth bow) and Isitolotolo (Jewish harp).” Mandla Lande
