Oliver Mtukudzi, or &#8220;Tuku&#8221; as his fans lovingly call him, plays spirited music, born from the soul of Zimbabwe. He&#8217;s been recording since the late 1970s, with about as many albums as his age: 60.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">But Mtukudzi&#8217;s new record reveals a heavier heart than before: Sarawoga is his first recording since the loss of his son Sam. He and Sam \u2014 also a guitar player, as well as a saxophonist \u2014 had a special relationship touring together. But in March 2010, Sam Mtukudzi was killed in a car crash at the age of 21. Oliver Mtukudzi recently told NPR&#8217;s Tell Me More that &#8220;the only way to console myself is to carry on doing what we loved doing most. Sitting down [to] cry and mourn \u2014 I think it would have killed me.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">So here is the legend himself, with much to share in the odd intimacy of an office desk.
