5.0 out of 5 stars Mtukudzi goes for smoother sound, September 9, 2006

I've been a fan of Oliver Mtukudzi since his album "Tuku Music" came out 7 years ago.In "Vhunze Moto" he is still going strong.The songs on this album could count as adult contemporary,but at times they are like spirituals,gospel&the blues."Moto Moto" is powerful--and it fits,since the song is about fire.The third song "Ziva Nguva" has urgency-it is about time itself;it's also in a minor key,making it unique.The last song "Tapera" is a spiritual-like lament,and Mtukudzi has the strong dynamism of a preacher.One can imagine a congregation shouting "Amen,brother!" in a response.

Every song on this album is a hit.Oliver Mtukudzi has a voice that draws you in;if he weren't from Zimbabwe,you'd think he was a blues singer from the Mississippi.For those who enjoy African music,this album is a MUST!

5.0 out of 5 stars This has become one of my favorite albums, December 4, 2004

This music is awesome. The songs are addictive. They are upbeat, happy, but soulfelt at the same time. The sound is very authentic- pure and natural. The singer/songwriter sounds like has has had a deep, rich life and came out on top.

5.0 out of 5 stars More Tuku excellence, May 7, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Vhunze Moto (Audio CD)

I must admit it took me a while to get into this album, but after a year of listening, I like it better than ever. The songs this time out are more melancholic and moody, with a greater acoustic feel than his previous, no less brilliant outings, Tuku Music/Paivepo. Kucheneka is my favorite, with it's wild percussion and impassioned vocals. I wish you'd do more songs in this mold, Tuku. Nevertheless, it's all killer no filler here. Highly recommended.
