Oliver “Tuku” Mtukudzi, was one of Zimbabwe’s most beloved musicians — and, I admit, my favorite. Tuku rightly became an international favorite for his sweet melodies and his socially conscious lyrics. While he was not as critical of long long LONG-ruling leader Robert Mugabe as musicians from Zimbabwe such as Thomas Mapfumo, Mtukudzi’s 2000 song, “Wasakara,” which means “You Are Worn Out,” did feature the lyrics, directed at the aging autocrat, “Admit you have gotten old, Admit you are worn out.” See Tuku perform at NPR’s “Tiny Desk.”
We are revising the AllAroundThisWorld.com site — the information you’re seeking may still be here, but a lot of links are broken and details may be out of date. We are currently using a new (better!) site — ExploreEverywhere.com — to tell you all about our class offerings, our “pen pal” program and how to become one of our teachers, and will eventually be moving all the goodies from here over to there. So, GO TO THE NEW SITE!
