Free Music Notes for Nhava
Free Music Review: Classic Mtukudzi
Hit: 5 Stars
I think this is one of Oliver Mtukudzi's best albums, if not THE best. From the first song (Ninipa) to the last (Dzidziso), you will not want the sound to stop.
I like ALL songs on the album, but my particular favourites are Izere Mhepo, Handiro Dambudziko, Dzokai and Tozeza (which I believe is a remake of his earlier song "Baba" from the album "Shoko"?).
If you're looking to sample some music from this great African artist or add another album to your collection, this is a definite must have. You'll enjoy your purchase through and through.
Nhava Poster
Singer/guitarist/activist Oliver Mtukudzi has cut a broad swath through his native Zimbabwe. He has recorded countless records and become the country?s biggest star, but his work is less known on this side of the pond. Here on Nhava (which is the Zimbabwean word for "carrying bag"), Mtukudzi offers bag of tunes overflowing with sunny African melodies and lyrics with messages of encouragement and advice. The words are married to a unique style called "Tuku music" (Tuku is his nickname), where Mtukudzi draws upon traditional forms of mbira, modern jiti and South African mbanqanga. In layman's terms, it means Mtukudzi's deep voice, a strong chorus of background vocals, and highly danceable interlocking rhythms of African drums and electric guitars. Highlights include the chiming "Ninipa" and the hypnotic "Pindirai." Regardless of whether Mtukudzi has heard the dance floor mantra, "Free your mind and you feet will follow," he's practicing it here on Nhava. --Tad HendricksonInternational Music CDs
