Tuku unleashes all in memorable gig

 

Not since Miss Zimbabwe 1997 have I seen the Harare International Conference Centre so full. There were cars on the curb, cars on the lawn, cars on the road- all the way up to Rotten Row.

 

Inside it was no less chaotic, but it was a happy chaos, as Hararians danced away to Tuku’s magical tunes.

Tuku smiles as the audience responds uproariously to one of his songs.

 

Tuku and band member, Charles Chipanga, pull out some dance moves. Tuku was leaping all over the stage throughout the show, defying his age.

 

Tuku makes a cool gesture during one of his songs

 

Thousands came to see him

 

Vimbai Zimuto and Namatai Mubariki

 

Happy fans

 

Empty cans of beer. Just in case you were wondering why everyone was so happy.

The opening acts for the show were Dino Mudondo and Suluman Chimbetu.
