Music reviews of Vhunze Moto

Music Review: Mtukudzi goes for smoother sound
Rating: 5 Stars

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!

Description of Vhunze Moto

On this album, his third released in the West by Putumayo, the gruff-voiced Zimbabwean singer-composer Oliver Mtukudzi and his band have lovingly fashioned another collection of hymnlike, honeyed harmonies and catchy percussive grooves. The ambiance is unaffected, wide open, and sunny with precious little obvious tweaking, as though the musicians were recorded at a live gig or captured playing for their own pleasure during a sound check. Mtukudzi's bell-like guitar leaps through the mix, rippling with iridescence like a silver fish in a noonday stream. His mature output continues to display a close kinship with other southern African traditions, especially mbaquanga, but the rhythms seem relaxed and stress-free when compared to the syncopated slap and sucking undertow that characterizes most Zulu-derived pop styles. However, the third track, "Ziva Nguva," cancels out previous impressions with an aggressive minor-key hook and relentless call-and-response vocals. --Christina Roden
