Book Synopsis


Trade Review

With this book, Kyker gives an account of Mtukudzi's musical life, but to call it a biography would be misleading. While it does take a mostly chronological journey through Tuku's story, it uses his life and music as a jumping-off point to talk about the role of music across various facets of Zimbabwean social life and history. . . . Kyker has created a thoroughly fascinating book.
