| testpilot | Posted: May 09, 2013 - 12:09 I find this "monotony" strangely relaxing and uplifting :-) |
| Disti | Posted: Feb 04, 2013 - 12:55 monotony at its finest, but let's be politically correct: superb |

| Joana0808 (Switzerland) | Posted: Aug 31, 2012 - 13:02  Beautiful song. Never heard before. Cannot understand why this can be judged as "boring". |
| AlexPyattaev | Posted: Jul 12, 2012 - 16:31 This is one of the worst songs ever made. IMHO. Okay, the tune is nice but repeating it SO MANY TIMES? REALLY? Looks like the author could not make up enough words for entire song and was paid by the minute. |

| TerryS (Another SW) | Posted: Jun 15, 2011 - 19:27 Elephant jokes aside, (and I've looked out of my tent at the scratching tree to see a big tusker rubbing his arse on a particularly suitable forked branch) Oliver brings back Africa nicely. Paul Simon does not. |

Of course, for some people once a year is too often. I happen to side with the majority who like this song, play it as often as you like RP. I guess it has to do with 1962! And I'm 4 months older......Peace Bro |

| RedINKdiary | Posted: Jul 20, 2009 - 13:14 Thanks to Radio Paradise I now have a collection of Tuku music. It puts me in a 'get things done' mode. Great stuff. |
| ShakeyNeil (Okanagan, BC) | Posted: Jul 14, 2009 - 09:04 I love this music! It is great to see RP playing diverse musical genres. Keep it up. |
| hallogallo (Raleigh, North Carolina) | Posted: Jul 14, 2009 - 09:02 A very enjoyable album, all the way through. Love me some Tuku Music!  |

I get it, this man's happy, jingly-jangly music brings pleasure to lots of people. But given the frequency with which it gets played on RP... I want to shoot myself every time it comes on. By all means play "World Music"... But can we either get a little less of it or a little more diversity at least? This has to be one of the most played tunes on all of RP.

That pretty much nixes your right to complain about how often a given band plays on RP. Of course by that note I have to quit whining about Tori Amos ... nevermind carry on. |

It sounds like you've been having a really bad day? I think Mtukudzi's music is not played often enough. I'm sorry it doesn't help your mood. |

It is after all a station described as "eclectic". Perhaps not everyone understands the meaning of eclectic, but fortunately there are a host of alternate radio stations for the narrow. Oliver Mtukudzi plays regularly in my area, and he (and a number of other Zimbabweans)add incredible flavour to what would otherwise be, very drab & repetative western influenced local music. For those who have enjoyed this track, look out for Devera Ngwenya, Bundu Boys, Thomas Mapfumo and others in this "tshikaranga" genre. Great stuff, thanks! Adding my whole-hearted agreement to those already registered! This is a large part of what makes Bill a true Master of his craft. |
| handyrae (Zero Point Field) | Posted: Feb 12, 2009 - 06:45 This song is just so happy and it makes me happy too. |
| neegij (eintove) | Posted: Feb 06, 2009 - 03:21 Very nice and everything, but I'm waiting for my upload to hear! Chester French isn't so bad! :) |

| (former member) (Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated) | Posted: Jan 11, 2009 - 15:04 My library had the two CDs with Oliver's greatest hits on it, and I immediately added them to my collection. |
| arsenault | Posted: Jan 05, 2009 - 12:00 wow this is great music... thanks RP love the world music selections.... the guitar is so beautiful. |

Well-stated, my worldly friend. Had me boppin' away instantly. Love the 'joy' of this sound. Hope for better things, better lives. You can "hear" the hope. Bravo. |
| countyman (pittsburgh, pa.) | Posted: Aug 06, 2008 - 15:55 Saw Oliver and his band at the Austin City Limits Festival in '05. |
