SUPERSTAR Oliver “Tuku” Mtukudzi, who dazzled thousands at Unplugged a fortnight ago at Borrowdale Racecourse in Harare, is set for a massive return to the leafy suburb, this time at Borrowdale Country Manor.
Tuku, will first unveil his 65th album “Eheka Nhai Yahwe! (Enjoy My Dear Friend)” to a few invited guests and journalists on September 22 at his arts centre, Pakare Paye, before staging the mammoth upscale gig eight days later.
The show features Jah Prayzah, whose new album “Mdhara Vachauya” is doing well.
No doubt the Tuku-Jah Prayzah combination – which filled the Harare International Conference Centre to the brim – on August 12, is a must-attend gig for live music enthusiasts.
Tariro neGitare, one of the most sought-after Zimbabwean artistes internationally, is part of the show, which increasingly looks set to change the game in Zimbabwe’s live performance circuit.
The Afro-soul singer has shared the stage with Mtukudzi on many occasions, putting up sterling performances that have seen her win hearts.
Given the size and significance of this show, the songbird is likely to bring her A-game to the stage.
Sam Dondo, whose grand entry into the music industry in April this year via a star-studded album launch that may have overshadowed his works, completes the line-up of performers.
