Oliver "Tuku" Mtukudzi - Tsivo (Zimbabwe)

Oliver Mtukudzi was a Zimbabwean guitarist who started his notable career in 1977 with the group the Wagon Wheels.  He quickly became a pop sensation in not only Zimbabwe but all of Southern Africa and then the world.  Since then he has toured widely throughout Europe, North America, Asia and South America.  He sings in Shona, English,  and Ndebele.  His music has been known to have a slight political tinge but under Mugabe's oppressive rule this became increasingly difficult and his criticism became more and more subtle.  His beautiful airy and floating guitar riffs have a nostalgic tone and his husky voice pushes the lyrics to the forefront.
