Oliver Mtukudzi’s remarkable musical career comes to life in this joyous celebration of the power of song to transform people’s lives. Structured around 12 tunes chosen by Mtukudzi himself, from his first recording Dzanzimomotera back in 1976 to his current hit Shanda, the film offers an intimate glimpse into the life of a man whose music reflected and inspired his nation’s struggle for freedom. What emerges, too, is Mtukudzi’s passion for fusing rural roots with fresh sounds and modern styles, as well as his irrepressible optimism expressed through his music for a country once again facing an uncertain future. Live recordings of songs filmed in Mtukudzi’s home township, Highvelds, and the Sports Diner in Harare make for plenty of great get-up and-dance footage.
