Nhava
Oliver Mtukudzi
Heads Up International
877/236-8742
Happiness is the emotion that instantly bursts to the surface as the first
strains of Nhava come through the stereo speakers. In the 12 songs featured on the album, listeners are imparted with Zimbabwean Oliver "Tuku" Mtukudzi's life perspectives culled from generations of African wisdom. "Nhava" translates as "carrying bag." Using traditional rhythms, modern Western instruments, and fabulous backup female vocalists, Mtukudzi explores the benefits of humility, care of the
natural world, unity, a father's love, hope, and forgiveness. His ability to distill complex and important themes into straightforward messages is one of his many gifts. English-speaking listeners can connect with the song's messages through the liner notes. Play Nhava on your store stereo to lighten the mood and bring customers in from the street. They are sure to be curious about where these bright, inspiring tunes are coming from!
