Blandina Chagula: Tollywood star already, set for more

When you talk about Angelina Jolie, most film fans understand who is she, having a big name in the world movie industry. But when you come to the local film industry you can not jump the name Blandina Chagula, “Johari” to her fans.

The winner of  best female actress and winner of rising actress in 2006 at the Risasi awards, Blandina Chagula can be described as an icon in the film industry in Tanzania, among the first women who dared to engage in the movie industry at the onset of the industry.

“At first the film industry was not paying. We just did as an additional occupation but now we enjoy what we do and we take it as a job like any other. We improve a lot in the industry from paying attention to quality in production,” she said.

While ordinarily she is Blandina Chagula, she is famous as Johari, the name used in most of her appearances in films. Her presence in films began in 2002 when she played a drama series with Kaole Arts Group, screened on television.

Blandina says that since childhood she used to like acting, wishing to talk on themes that touch society and was also influenced by Tanzanian actress, Waridi and therefore took a nam,e that reminds her of her heroine.

“Soon after completing college I started playing in a drama series with Kaole Arts Group after being interviewed by Kaole officials and because I had the talent I passed well. That was my first arts group upon which I was lifted into the film industry, starting to play movies within the group,” Blandina said.

She remained for half a decade with the group, her first movie titled Riziki,after which she participated in another move where the name Johari started becoming a household word.

The Johari movie became a monument to her career, removing any doubts she still had about it, receiving extensive coverage in the media, which pushed her to start sharpening her career objectives and achieve what she could more easily to about achieving.

“I decide to stay put in film after seeing the clear advantage it offered. At first it was not paying so I faced difficulties to catch up with movie demands, but after the film industry expanded and its advantages became clear I decided to leave the group and participate fully in films,” she explained.

Most actors and actresses in major film industries around the world are wealthly due to achievements obtained in making films, as it is a sector that contribute a lot in the services sector.

“Yes, I had success, first achieved by setting up a film company in partnership with actor Vicent Kigosi, “Ray” and the company was called RJ company. We do everything concerning movie production after working with other companies for a number of years,” she said.

She is managing director of RJ Company and her works include producing movies and Ray is production manager, where she play a character in some of the movies.

Apart from sharing the company Blandina takes acting in movies as a normal job which gives her a salary and makes her live more or less comfortably, able to support her family. The movie industry had enabled employment of so many people who had no job but were talented, she points out.

To be an actor or actress you can not escape being seen by the public or if you are a celebrity public attention will not be avoidable, and lots of challenges arise, but at the local level Blandina has her own challenges including lack of cooperation from people who perceive the movie industries as a waste of time.

“I faced a lots of challenges as many people see us as prostitutes, many men follow us. We have been underrated by so many people and so many things happened, but having only one stand helped me by concentrating on what  am doing,” she said.

Blandina or Johari at present works hard in order to achieve her dream of being a big movie producer as well as doing the work of a movie director in the years to come.

“I want to produce movies which can be nominated in international movie awards in the United States or elsewhere,” she says of her utmost yearnings.

Mrisho Mpoto : “Mjomba” of poetry, Swahili culture through music

Music is one among arts with a great influence here in Tanzania as elsewhere, an art whose growth has been fast. Currently, there are many youths who opt to make music part of their life and they make a living from it. With such growth, Tanzania has many music groups, traditionally called jazz bands, and smaller solo artistes especially among the 'new generation' musicians. The latter are mainly youths engaging in rough and  tumble sort of music, 'Bongo Flavor' mainly and then its cousins in rhythm and blues, or again hip hop. Music is business. But it's not only a business. It's part of who we are and how we express ourselves. It's not just about money. It's about people. Music express Culture, it  exists to celebrate those parts of contemporary popular music that are not simply about returning a profit, but are about our cities, our heritage, our shared experience and ourselves as people. But in  real sense most musicians in Tanzania do not present our culture as the styles used are similar to other countries the world over. Tanzanian musicians imitate DRC beats and earlier, America as despite not being part of our culture, these cultures also grew out of African beats exported across the seas. That is why no one can say they have their own music. However there is cultural pressure to be authentic, and one such stalwart is Mrisho Mpoto, a recently emerged Tanzanian artist who sees as acutely important the need to promote Kiswahili internationally. This can be done by using its own unique style of narrating poetry, something that makes it easy to recognize him as a champion of local music. He is one among the few musicians who succeed to draw attention of their audiences, as professionally he is doing theatre performance and music is part of it. So Mrisho Mpoto takes that side of it though he describes his style as contemporary African music, the kind of music which contains different tastes of African culture, using different vernaculars around Tanzania, and presenting it orally – which is really what African culture is all about. He uses different African art material with the aim of promoting local languages because we have enough  languages but who knows that?  He says he wants all world to know we are rich in languages and there is no need to borrow languages from outside. In his music one cannot find a foreign language word included, he swears to that. You can describe him as the Swahili ambassador because he succeeds to present Kiswahili all over the world through his poetic style narrating in Swahili, mixing with other vernaculars. Mrisho Mpoto has travelled in many countries including the United States, Sweden, Germany, France and many other countries in the five continents. He become a winner of the Reunion slum poetry championship in 2008 for the whole of Africa, after which Mrisho succeeded to establish a traditional dancers group which goes together with his own show through his music band that was introduced last year. One major step he has taken is forming a music band that he owns, as he decided to have a music band of his style in order to give his audience what he can offer, authentically. He has more fans each passing day, and they like to meet with him face to face. Lots of people listen to his music and they need to hear it in live band fashion, “that's why I decide to introduce my band, called Mjomba Band,” he said. His music changes according to whom he is talking to. If he speaks to cultivated audience he provides a narration suited for them, and sometimes even in routine talk he can narrate automatically without prior preparation but in a balanced way, and that is what called talent. Speaking on talent he has lots of poetry crammed in his head including Titi la mama litamu from Shaaban Robert and others, which has 50 verses. He acknowledges he has special talent and is a professional story teller, saying he narrates his music with more inspiration and he also wears the character inside him. “There is Mrisho Mpoto and another side of Mrisho Mpoto when you find me in my work,” he declares. He has the passion of doing theatre performances since he was a child, with a childhood spent at the University of Dar es Salaam. “I lived in campus premises for more than ten years since I were in primary school and at times I used even to enter in classes and listen to lectures. I am glad about that because in the 50 years anniversary of the University of Dar es Salaam I was awarded as a member  of the university,” he said. “It is cultural expansion so I expect to promote our tourism as well. I will tell them what is Tanzania doing as well, as we are going to play a book called African kills her son,” Mrisho said. Mrisho says he plans to produce a lot of poems so he expects that in five years this type of art will be more popular as it is now a new thing in Tanzania. He started on that idea he introduced at the Dar es Salaam Festival for poetry, and each year four winners go to France for further competition. He says he faced lots of challenges when he started because poetry  was a new thing. “I was thinking on how people can take this style but at last I succeeded to deliver it to audiences and people accept it, so now I enjoy my work and do it with passion,” he added.
