Tuku’s first guest was the talented Willom Tight before Edith WeUtonga — who has become a powerful force within the Zimbabwean music scene with her seven-piece Utonga band — impressed many with her bass guitar skills.
Publish The Quest, managed by Zimbabwean-born Johnny Fernandes and who also played during last year’s Hifa, showed their craftsmanship during their act with Tuku.
The highlight of the night was no doubt Tuku’s duet with Senegalese music maestro Ismael Lo. The Senegalese guitarist, harmonica player and singer revived memories of his first Hifa duet with Tuku at Hifa 2004, with another awe-inspiring joint act with Tuku. Dailynews
