Oliver Mtukudzi

Oliver Mtukudzi is the best-selling artist in his home country of Zimbabwe, Africa. Oliver began recording in the mid-1970s 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. Mtukudzi has continued to perform regularly in Zimbabwe, but has never confined himself to his home country, performing at various international events, including touring through Europe in November 1997 with a collaboration of 12 Southern African musicians called Mahube.
