Oliver Mtukudzi

Oliver Mtukudzi is a musician from Zimbabwe. He is a known musician and he has been on several of tours, from the UK to Canada and the US. 

He sings in Shona and Ndebele which is languages from Zimbabwe, and in addition to that he sings in English. His English has a touch of Shona and Ndebele. He suffers from Aids, and in some of his songs he sings about Aids. His English is not hard to understand, but sometimes it takes a bit more attention than normal to understand the lyrics. 

Oliver has a great energy on stage and you can see when he performs that the audience has a great time. With my poorly knowledge about him I could not imagine anyone say anything bad about him. His supporters talks warmly about him and it is not hard to see that they’re very proud of him. 

A lot of non-English performers do perform in English. By performing in English they reach out to a large audience. English is an international language, and when non-English performers perform in English it's most likely in the intention that almost everybody can understand them and they're lyrics.
