Makhadzi- The True African Queen
Makhadzi undoubtedly is Africa's Number one female musician in 2021.
The proof is in the success of her last album, Khokhova, which is still on the charts and also branded as the most streamed female artist on Apple Music for 2021.
Makhadzi, real name Ndivhudzannyi Ralivhona, released seven traditional albums, with her first release coming at the tender age of 15.
Recently Makhadzi was invited to perform at George T Guvamatanga’s 50th birthday party.
“This shows that I am a true African queen because I managed to bring everyone together through music, something that has been done by other great giants around the continent. I am just picking up that baton and making music that resonates with everyone,” she said.
Mzansi singer and songwriter, Makhadzi comes through with a brand new song titled “Ma Yellowbone” featuring contributions from Prince Benza. The song is off the new “African Queen” album.
No English Translation Yet:
Makhadzi, the African Queen also touches on why she won’t be translating her music despite the fact that many of her fans don’t understand Venda.
“It’s a good thing having a lot of people like your music. Most people don’t understand Venda but they’re busy dancing to my music,” she said.
“Music is not all about the language. As long as there is a nice melody and nice beat that’s the only thing that matters. I believe as an artist I can sing anything as long as I get the right beat. The only thing that I must do is to come up with a nice melody.””
Meanwhile, she blew her fans away on Heritage Day after wearing nine different and equally stunning traditional outfits.
