Oliver Mtukudzi performs in The Rainbow Room in Celebration of the World Cup

With his husky voice, he has become the most recognized voice to emerge from Zimbabwe and onto the international scene and he has earned a devoted following across Africa and beyond. Oliver, or "Tuku" to his fans, has had a career that has spanned more than twenty years and 40 original albums (nearly all of them best-sellers). However, it is his dedication to the live music scene in Zimbabwe, & more recently South Africa - playing to enthusiastic audiences in even the remotest parts of the country - that has earned him the place in people"s hearts that he holds today.
