Popular musician Oliver 'Tuku' Mtukudzi remains the father not in shaping his legacy only but nurturing local artistes' talents.

Tuku as he is affectionately known by his legions of fans will tomorrow night hold a joint gig with two of the country's rising urban groovers, Cindy Munyavi known as 'Cindy' in the music industry and Desmond 'Stunner' Chideme at 7 Arts Theatre in Avondale.

In an interview with the C&A Entertainment Clint Robertson who is co-ordinating the show, the proceeds from the show will go towards NAMA Awards to be held next year.
