Product Description

Artist: Oliver Mtukudzi

With his sandpapery voice, weighty lyrics and light, sunny rhythms, Zimbabwean vocalist Oliver Mtukudzi has found success in both his native country (he is responsible for the Zimbabwe's best selling album in history) and abroad. He even has celebrities like Bonnie Raitt as his advocates. This greatest hits album gives listeners a sampling of the artist's characteristic sound, which he dubs "Tuku Music." Set to breezy guitar lines, mbira (thumb piano) and light percussion, these songs offer a look at daily life in Zimbabwe. Several of the songs on this album are being heard outside of Africa for the first time. Also featured is a pair of live tracks, including "Hear Me Lord," which Raitt covered on one of her previous albums
