Mtukudzi\'s 1992 CD Shoko present s a set of classic tuku hits, crisply recorded in a German studio. At the time, he told Afropop that he missed the \"rawness\" of older productions. \"They were more African than this digital thing coming up. We seem to be running away from something.\" However, since then, he has been recording in a state-of-the-art studio in South Africa, and has produced two polished albums available on Putumayo, Tuku Music (1998) and Paivepo (2000). Self-effacing and down-to-earth, Mtukudzi runs a grocery story in his hometown when he\'s not working with his band.">
