Zimbabwe music legend Tuku opens door to new talent

NORTON, Zimbabwe - If you've ever dreamed of playing alongside Afro-jazz legend Oliver "Tuku" Mtukudzi, just drop into his studio in Zimbabwe and pick up an instrument.

Mtukudzi - one of Africa's most famous and admired musicians - has an open-door policy at his arts center in Norton, 50 kilometers west of Harare.

Aged 65 and with more than 60 albums under his belt, the self-taught singer and guitarist says the center provides a home for all musicians, particularly youngsters who often face disapproval from their parents at home.
