LEGENDARY musician will give a special performance at the Book Café tonight. Entertainment Reporter
Entitled Trio, the show will present a trimmed version of his band, The Black Spirits.
Featuring Mtukudzi on his iconic acoustic guitar, Strovers Masobwe on percussion and Enoch Piroro on bass guitar, the trio will be out to give the audience a different feel of katekwe music.
Mtukudzi, or “Tuku” as he is affectionately known, does not often perform at the Book Café, but when he does, the venue is always packed to capacity.
His loyal fans throng the venue to see him perform in a more intimate atmosphere.
“Fans can expect a very mixed set, featuring up-tempo and slower songs from his extensive catalogue, as well as popular new releases,” said Tuku’s manager Sam Mataure.

“You never know which songs will be on the list because he is versatile, but it is guaranteed to be a good show. People should come and expect an evening of beautiful music.”
Mtukudzi is an inspiration to many Zimbabwean artistes and in turn, he has done a great deal to help guide and mentor a new generation of artistes.
As the founder of Pakare Paye Arts Centre in Norton, Mtukudzi has mentored and nurtured a new generation of musicians, including Munya Mataruse, Donald Kanyuchi and the band Tsvete, who have begun to make names for themselves on the music scene.
