Oliver Mtukudzi's management has confirmed that, 'Abiangu 2’, the album he was working on before his death, will be out this quarter. Now fans from across the world eagerly await new music from the late the legendary music icon popularly known as Tuku. When he passed on, his discography included 67 albums.
During the course of his long career, Tuku took themes relevant to social issues of the time, thus in the ‘80s he sang songs in celebration of independence, and sang about HIV and Aids in the ‘90s.
In an interview, Tuku's last manager Walter Wanyanya confirmed the latest developments and said preparations were at an advanced stage for the album launch.
"The album's name is called ‘Abiangu 2’. which is a Shona - Chikorekore dialect meaning friends," he said."
Wanyanya said the album had 14 tracks, but did not want to share some of the songs’ titles or the names of the artists featured on the project.
"It follows after ‘Abiangu 1’, which was released in 2011," he said.
"It will be ready for release this quarter and it features different artists from various countries which include Zambia, South Africa, Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
"The album was produced by the late Dr Tuku himself and mixed and mastered by Vusa Moyo."
Wanyanya took to social media to remember the legend and cherish his happy moments with him.
"What an honour it was to have carried their (the late Tuku and Hugh Masekela’s) bags and walk behind them in service," he posted.
"Forever grateful. We celebrate you daily. I will always treasure the time I spent with you and the lessons you taught me daily. Thank you for showing me the ability to love, learn and teach. Your legacy is set in stone."
