Such a humble African. I have learned so much from Baba Mtukuzi. How he understands and explain life and people as a whole is purely wisdom❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
After the video ended I said," Can we hear more music, please?"
Well sound music, Its an honour to listen to this legend. I only had one chance to be in his live performance in my life. I would like to attend another live performance. He is a matured wine, he sings wisdom. Thanks for the great music indeed
Blessed sounds from the soul of Zimbabwe. Such a talented man!
Mtukudzi is just great!! Listen to his Tiny Desk Concert - the talent is great. I agree you can listen to his music all day
Here to love music,great!
I am east african.
Love the way he speaks!!! So much emphasis on sharing his talent and in fact giving it away. So gracious and kind!!! Thankyou KEXP for bringing this to us!!! ❤️

A most magnanimously beautiful soul. His music always is a healing medicine for me. 7/21/2020
I miss him to
September 2020....2:44am Watching and Learning.
what a legend
That was beautifull what he said. Made my eyes tear up, loving this.
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.
Shaney, yes you were lucky to have heard him in person.
I also had this feeling in Martinique when there was a car on the road every hour.
once once a woman stopped and we were in her family I think it was one of the most beautiful moments of life it was simple me her parents quiet the songs animals of nights
"You don't get to sing a song if you have nothing to say"
My god, if the whole music industry could hear this. If every artist today could self-reflect on this thought.
Death is an idiot nxaaaa
In my opinion, Oliver is one of the most talented humans. Ever.
Very true
I truly believe God doesn't duplicate talent. It's only you and you alone and there is no better you than you. Show us who you are an we learn from you- Tuku
Profound, isn't it?
Forward Paunganwa yes, it is! Words of wisdom!
You are right, each one of us is created to bring something special and unique to the world. For Oliver, it was Music. There comes someone like him once in a lifetime.
Le Grand Sapeur Tuku ws very outspoken and original luved him thn and nw sadly missed
Oh! I loved that. It’s you and you alone. Profound indeed. Can we just go back and find ourselves, who we are???😢
I met him in Ethiopia a few months before he passed on, what a humble soul he was!! He shook my hand like i was very important and yes to him i was. Rest in peace Hero of Africa.
He was a very humble man indeed !!!
@@sancho7385Sancho? Were you a student at Yared Music school?
😂@@sancho7385😂😂hbtibgoh o nlnt i pf rr
Yes I was !
So sad to hear the passing of Tuku, one of my favorite musicians of all time.
Godbless you Oliver one of the best artists I've ever heard.so so talented and humble love you xxxxx
I discovered this man today, only to find that he died in 2019, what a shame.
this music makes me happy
He made Zim and Africa as a whole proud with his talent,2022 we here to listen to 1of his live masterpiece',#ripDrTuku#legend#hero
Your music lives on... Legend Rip @Tuku
It was a great presentation. He will always be an artist to reckon. RIP
The greatest musician to come out of Zimbabwe. Legend!
One guitar, one bass, amazing voices and pure legendary talent
Bass in Chiri Nani did it for me... They are all good but Chiri Nani is at another level...

Thank you 👏👏
100% man
Well done Dr Mtukudzi, you make us Zimbabweans proud. You are a blessing to us and the whole world at large.
Haha yes sir, "you don't get to sing a song if you have nothing to say". We'd be bathing in a lot of beauty if this was truly put to practice..
@ Tuku ,Samanyanga you are a true rock star and your talent is second to none
Grazie KEXP!
"god don't duplicate talent, its only you and you alone and there's no better you than you" - Oliver Mtukudzi and the Black Spirits :)
I literally had tears rolling down my eyes your music had a great impact in our Zim culture and across the borders may your soul Rest In Peace
😢🙏
14:59 Bass player is a rock star.
Saw him last evening at live performance. He has wonderful stage presence and provided a two hour concert to a packed audience. He is a virtuoso - blending traditional sounds with contemporary style. See him live if you have the opportunity.
totally...lovely
Wow! i was so blessed to meet Bro Oliver Tuku Mtukudzi twice before he left us, listening to this beautiful healing sounds, makes me feel brand new! I'm big fan of him and a big fan of his guitar sounds!
I just discovered this guy today, and holy cow... I'm an instant fan. Much love from Kansas, Mr. Mtukudzi!
wow...... legend he is
Grande homem Oliver Mtukudzi agente sente isso ca em Africa de Zimbabwe pra Mozambique fan nr 1
Pure Roots music. Takes you to your good place with your feet planted firmly in the earth. This music is felt. It means whatever you mind can conjure and can be different each time. Always a big fan. Hoping to catch his concern sometime. Even if I have to travel a great distance. Kudos to the band and the 2 beautiful ladies singing backup vocals.
Sadly he is gone now
Tuku is not bound by genre, belief system, or culture: he beautifully expresses the human condition common to all. That's art. I've been a Tuku fan for many years, and was so fortunate to finally see him perform live at Jazz Alley.
Tuku is special, he will never be on past tense.
The oldman working with young stars 🙌🙌
Music is one of the languages that bind all humans, spoken in many dialects, spanning the globe. You may not find every single facet personally pleasing, but its presence throughout all cultures is an unmistakable sign of our shared humanity.
I can't understand what Oliver Mtukudzi Is speaking, but I feel It.
look at those fingerpicking skills and all them feels. they must really love to make music and they do a great job transmitting the feelings to the listeners. i love kexp for having such mixed talents coming to the studio.
I am seeing Oliver for the first time on video but so familiar with his sonorous voice for years. Thank you for bringing this great musician to TH-cam. Despite his greatness he still humbles himself. Great lesson indeed from a great man. I love his music even though I do not understand the language he sings in. Great man indeed.
he sings in Shona
Guys who wish you could understand Shona to understand Oliver Mtukudzi's music, fret not. Oliver's lyrics are deep as the ocean. Shona natives get no free pass through either.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS SPECIAL MOMENT WITH M.R. OLIVER MTUKUDZI AND HIS BLACK SPIRIT. BLESSING FROM TAGANGA, COLOMBIAN CARIBBEAN.
I have no idea what they are saying, but this is absolutely beautiful.
yu are in the right way bbie
That's the beauty of music. I do that with Congolese music.
First he is from Zimbabwe, he was on a tour...
He songs in shona dialect called korekore
He is in essence saying being ungrateful is a form of witchcraft.... Thats the theme of the song... Song on 8 min
Song on 15 mins
He is saying
Everything in life you have to ask from the owner....
You cannot just take whats not yours...
He gives examples in the song
He also says
There is noone who is inferior to another.. So jus ask from the owner even though he might look inferior to you.... Thats what he is singing....
I can't understand the words...but who cares? I enjoyed every note.
Oliver you are just a legend of Zimbabwean music, you command a lot respect among us your fans. I am just sorry for your seed your were grooming and unfortunately death took him. I like your strong character.
I'm so astonished with this level of humbleness from a legend. RIP Tuku, your music lives on
Look at how he picks up every note on the guitar . Try it . As for me I gave up . He is is a wizard
Lost in the gentle music and wisdom of Tuku. Tinotenda baba!
Wow! There is no better you than YOU. Powerful words.
Beyond wonderful. Thanks to the folks at KEXP for capturing these breathtaking moments and sharing them.
A fab group and those female harmony vocals with their perfect pitch and tone are the icing on the cake !!!
I'm a massive Thomas Mapfumo fan but i have to say Tuku owned this interview here like a boss. In terms of Zim music, Tuku and Mapfumo are way ahead of everyone. I'd be nice if they recorded a song or 2 together.
During Ian Smith's time, they used to perform together in Harare and Gweru before they split with members from the band they shared to form Black Spirits and Blacks Unlimited respectively.
I first started listening to him in the mid-1980s while on assignment in Zimbabwe, and he's as wonderful now as he was then
Rest in Eternal Peace Oliver Mtukudzi.
I never saw Tuku in this light. The man was a brilliant artist. His imagination and creative abilities were boundless… A Legend.
This guy is amazing; his music hits the soul softly and lifely!. RIP SAMANYANGA!, ran into his youtube music after stumbling onto another great singing bird from Malawi,Gidde Chalamanda!! May your music inspire this & future generations!!
The music was awesome! I also don't quite understand what should be wrong with the interviewer, for he did a fine job in my opinion. He wasn't bored, not at all. He might actually have been pretty immersed in the music, you know, well concentrated and calm. He just chose to play down himself in order to give more space to the musician, which I believe is the right approach. I really enjoyed this show - subscribed. Have a nice day. :)
The interviewer seemed a bit negative to me. Thats
That's just my opinion, m welcome to all criticism and insults
He's a chilled out guy, you'll notice that whenever he presents he's got this very quiet side who keeps the questions short and sweet so he and others can enjoy the music.
Dibz Mrasta No insults. He has a mellow way of asking questions. That was my first impression too. But as you can tell later on during interview, he pays Mtukudzi great complement and respect.
Raw talent. Authentic Tuku. Oneof the best to come out of ZImbabwe.
Few months back one night I listened "Neria" more than 100 times...
Falling love with that song
I am cutting onions listening to this legend 9yrs later seems like he is still here with us.MHDSRIEP😭😭😭😞😞😞
Pure sounds of beauty and wisdom. Happy Friday, people. Much, much love to all of you.
Greetings from Austin, Texas. Where are you all from? :)
Am from Kenya.
Indeed.. I do listen to you all day long!!!!! Thank you for great talent
Everytime Mr Oliver Mtukuzi plays I close my eyes and I see a rainbow❤🥰🙂🌻🌻..what a pleasant sound and such Good music
I ignored his concerts locally and it's soooooo true, You never know what you have till it's gone.
I now know that the real universal language that exist among humanity is music, even though I don't understand the language in the songs but I can feel the message, message of peace, self belief and universal happiness.
The Don "aside from silence, music is the only language capable of expressing the inexpressible" -Aldus Huxley
Spot on 👍
"You don't get to sing a song if you've nothing to say" that's what we lack in today's social media artists most of them got nothing to say
I,m Moza/xangana, I do not understand xhona anyhow TUKU's songs excites my heart and evokes spirits of all xanganas, particularly of my family-I'm very proud of TUKU; thanks god.
I don't see what's wrong with the interviewer. I think he has an understated style, and he's not as energetic as some of the other KEXP DJs. I think his questions were fine. I think the music is absolutely beautiful.
Me too , i love the Dj the way he is interviewing
Freaking Brilliant, so grateful for KEXP and their diverse tastes in music !!!
This is a great video. I just saw them live last night and it was--words can't even describe it. It was amazing. He's a huge, charismatic presence and all of them are stunning musicians. So much love and joy. If you get a chance to see them, do it.
I like how he says "please" when requesting for a song
este senor mediante su voz me recuerda la voz de mi abuelo cuando era un hombre ya entrado en años pero con salud, la experiencia acumulada de sus años pero aun un hombre alegre sabio y su manera de ver la vida optimista. no entiendo nada de la letra de la canción pero es tan grande este artista que no necesito entender la letra.
I miss this amazing man, you gave some sanity and voice of reason in our chaotic country,
Love the interplay between guitar and bass. They complement each other perfectly. Peaceful music with lovely singing arrangements. Makes me feel so good
Totally agree... the sound is just out of the world... so soothing... Rest in peace Tuku...
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.
Lol! He knew it, he was just a humble person who wanted others to shine also.
Damn that was sick, great singing. Oliver emphasizes not only the attack of each note but the release of some of the notes he sings which creates a good effect in my mind. I would have preferred a steel string guitar. But damn, the instruments are pocket.. and everything he talks about is some wise shit.
Mr Oliver plays like heaven,and I listening when mine day is bore! Bring my spirit up!🎉🎉🎉thank you.
👀carefully musik pplzs,you might get spaced out and realise you’ve not been breathing while lost in Oliver’s flawless wire🎼waves,beuful band.❤️🙏🏿
ow humbling xo
I miss this voice and lyrics that came from Zimbawe to our house on the Indian Ocean, in Mozambique.
Fan from india. KEXP s expanding my eyes to the world of global music.
RIP Samanyanga. You will be missed legend.
He was great artist, I always enjoy his songs especially Wenge Mambo
"theres no better you then you"!!! :)
lovely. he plays the guitar like a cora. Love it.
We have a daughter who has cerebral palsy and is non-verbal... she loves Tuku so much... we were planning to either invite Tuku to our home or take her to his concert that did not happen due to his illness and eventual passing... May your soul rest in peace Tuku; looking forward to seeing and meeting in the next life.
even though people in general can't do without it but at times they don't give it the respect it deserves
😻 Beautiful,I am so happy I visit this video😻
such a respectful message. may God bless you and your family. God bless Africa
Turns ur solemnity into joy,a lugubrious atmosphere is transmogrified into a sphere of hope as tensions are diffussed.......A true cultural icon and Shona brand ambassador truly patience and pespiration pays!!!
Daaaamn those chics. Moving from Kenya to Zzzzzzzzim shortly
a very talented man! love from North Africa! rest in power.
