If you do not evolve, you dissolve: Selmor Mtukudzi

Zimbabwean Afro Jazz artist Selmor Mtukudzi says although her father is her greatest musical inspiration, she experiments with different sounds to constantly create something new.

“If you do not evolve, you dissolve…I constantly work on evolving myself to remain relevant to today’s world," says Mtukudzi.

As the daughter of the legendary Zimbabwean artist Oliver Mtukudzi, Selmor Mtukudzi strives to do the best that she can to keep her father’s legacy alive.
