Oliver Mtukudzi, Canada Concerts

Oliver "Tuku" Mtukudzi is arguably the most powerful creative force to emerge from Zimbabwe in the last three decades. Carefully balancing compelling rhythms and accessible melodies with insightful lyrics, Tuku has built a vast body of work that is politically and socially relevant, yet entertaining and accessible to a worldwide audience.
 
Throughout a career that spans more than 60 recordings and virtually every corner of the globe, he has remained committed to the live music scene of his homeland, where he and his band, The Black Spirits, continually play to enthusiastic audiences in even the most remote regions.

His sound, is a blend of traditional East African genres and modern subgenres of Afropop, including chimurenga and JIT, is known as "Tuku Music." Mtukudzi is a songwriter and a guitar player, and is well-known for his graceful onstage dance moves, which he performs while playing.
