Musical artist
Latozi Mpahleni (25 December 1943 – 23 December 2022), better known by her clan name Madosini, was a South African musician, singer, and cultural custodian.
She was celebrated for her mastery of traditional Xhosa musical instruments such as the uhadi (gourd bow), umrhubhe (mouth bow), and isitolotolo (Jew's harp). Madosini was regarded as a "national treasure" and a leading figure in the preservation of Xhosa indigenous music.[1]
