Review:
This is Tuku's 47th album and it represents a new beginning of sorts for he and his band, The Black Spirits. It is the very first acoustic studio album that the band has recorded and it is also the first recorded in Tuku's own Samanyanga studio at his home in Norton, Zimbabwe. Everything but the mastering was done in the studio, which took Tuku a few years to build. Over the years he has collected acoustic instruments including an acoustic bass given to him by one of his biggest fans, fellow musician Bonnie Raitt. In a way however, it's like turning the clock back to 1975 when Tuku recorded his very first song 'Stop After Go'. Then it was just him and his guitar and the idea was just to hear his music played on local radio. Almost three decades on, Tuku's music has, like a good wine, improved with age and is played and sold all over the world. Of course Tuku is older - he turned fifty three in September 2005 - but he still maintains the work ethic that has made him one of Africa's leading and most loved musicians. — CalabashMusic.com |
