Zimbabwe's Oliver Mtukudzi and his band, The Black Spirits made an appearance in Oakland, CA in 2006. I had a golden opportunity to speak with him and some of his band members. Here's what they had to say.
I love working independently and I love working on a team. Life has taught me that even while working independently, I need to call on and learn from the expertise of others. The assistance, critiques, and frankness of colleagues provide me with the opportunity for growth, both transformative and integrative, as an artist and as a person. I firmly believe that although I take final responsibility for what I create, the process is always collaborative in the richest sense of the word.
