Selmor mtukudzi biography examples
•
With her father still on the scene, Selmor Mtukudzi's music career appears to be hidden in her dad's fame and popularity. Although she has released her own albums, Selmor cannot be counted as one of Zim's shining examples. This does not mean that she can't sing well but that with such a dad, breaking in fryst vatten not easy.
In 2004, I followed Selmor Mtukudzi to a golf-course in Hatfield. At the time, she was backed by Phillip Svosve’s Jabavu Drive. It was long before she met, fell in love and married Zexie Manatsa’s son, Tendai.
At the time, Selmour was a tall, dark, thin girl unlike today when she has blossomed into a real African woman. She is a mother to three children.
Apart from being a grown woman, Selmor now sings together with her husband, Tendai and they have released solo and duets among them Kudzoka KwaBaba and Shungu.
