oliver “tuku” mtukudzi- tsimba itsoka

Heads Up International

Here’s a sweet collection of songs from an Afro-pop icon for true fans of African rhythms. The gentle Tsimba Itsoka, which literally means “No Foot, No Footprint,” centers on a central theme which is embodied on each track. The album title refers to the duality of what each person can leave behind during their life’s journey. The lyrics, of course, aren’t in English, but the combo of the in-the-pocket grooves and Mtukudzi’s soulful vocals can sweep you away regardless. -forrest green III
