    My god, if the whole music industry could hear this. If every artist today could self-reflect on this thought.

    I remember my first trip to Africa, I had only been there a few days and was on an overcrowded bus from Zimbabwe to Zambia and the bus stopped at a fueling station late at night. I knew little about Africa and even less about African music but when I heard the sweet musical tones that was probably Oliver and his band on the small speakers at the station I was hooked. My life was never the same again. I was lucky to see him perform twice in Melbourne many years later.

    Indeed talent is silent and humble but distinct and undeniable. It is amazing how Oliver Mutukudzi is a powerhouse of musical talent but does not seem to fully realise it. Maybe talent is also blind. Listen to his lyrics and rhythm and you will surely get a quenching of the yearnings of an inquisitive musical soul. Hands up TUKU.
