Fans of Sam Mtukudzi can be assured of even lots more new music from the departed younger Mtukudzi. Tuku has revealed that his son left several recorded numbers that will be released in addition to Sam’s other posthumous album Cheziya launched last month.
“There is a lot of stuff in the studio that Sam didn’t include on Cheziya,”Tuku has told Zimbabwe’s pop radio station, Power FM, in an exclusive interview.
“We will compile the songs and put them on CD. He was also recording some of his shows live at places like The Book Café, Sports Diner in Harare and so on. I have come across the music and will compile that for another CD.”Cheziya is Sam’s second album after the debut Rume Rimwe in 2007. Tuku also said a DVD which he recorded with Sam, at 7 Arts Theatre in Harare early this year and carrying the theme Nzou neMhuru, was now in postproduction but would not say when exactly it would be released. --Shepherd Mutamba/tukumusik.com
