HARARE - Tuku has released his 59th album Rudaviro that makes him arguably Zimbabwe’s most recorded musician today.

The 12-track album went on sale on Friday night in Harare where Tuku performed at a welcome party having been away for nearly three months overseas.

A huge crowd of truly supportive Tuku fans turned out for the show at Harare International Conference Centre.

Thank you to all our fans for making the party a great success.

The following night (Saturday) Tuku was in Mutare where an equally supportive crowd braved the biting cold until early morning. Rudaviro went on sale for the first time outside Harare at the Mutare show.

Says Tuku in the album sleeve message: “This offering is my pride of African traditional instruments. A fusion of the flavours of the mbira, a thumb piano played in a calabash, the acoustic flavor of wooden marimba and the resounding flavour of skin top ngoma complimenting beautifully to bring out the inner feeling of who we are – African. I want to believe that as you listen you will find a word or two, a line or two, a song or two that will touch your heart.” – tukumusik.com
