Album Description
Guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Oliver Mtukudzi is one of the most powerful creative forces to emerge from Zimbabwe in the last three decades. Affectionately called "Tuku" for short, he began recording in the mid `70s as a member of Wagon Wheels, a band that also featured Thomas Mapfumo. After Wagon wheels rolled to fame in Southern Africa, Tuku formed Black Spirits, the band that has backed him throughout his career.
Tuku has been heavily influenced by chimurenga, a genre pioneered by Mapfumo, that is inspired by the hypnotic rhythms of the mbira (thumb piano). His music also incorporates pop influences, South African mbaqanga, the energetic Zimbabwean pop style Jit, and traditional kateke drumming.
'Nhava' continues the traditions of Tuku's vast body of work by skillfully balancing compelling African rhythms and accessible melodies to address social issues relevant to not only his native Zimbabwe but to people and cultures everywhere.
