Oliver Mtukudzi is the best-selling artist in his home country of Zimbabwe,

forty recordings. While Oliver's music is undeniably contagious, it is his 
lyrics that have captured the hearts of his people, and his fans 
world-wide. Most of his songs focus on the social and economic issues that 
govern people's daily lives and, with an infectious sense of humour and 
optimism that prevails through all his music, his appeal extends to young 
and old alike.
