Jazz Singer Oliver Mtukudzi Dies At 66

Zimbabwean Jazz musician Oliver Mtukudzi has died at the age of 66 after a short illness.

Some of his world-renowned hits include Neria and Todii. He died earlier on Wednesday in his home country and it’s understood his family will be releasing a statement later.

Mtukudzi has produced over 60 original albums, most of them bestsellers. But it was his dedication to the live music scene in Zimbabwe – playing to enthusiastic audiences even in the remotest parts of the country – that earned him the respect and admiration of the people in Zimbabwe.
