Tuku speaks on past, present, future

According to his publicist Shepherd Mutamba it is very difficult to get the music maestro to grant journalists an interview due to his tight schedule, which includes performing, rehearsing or running Pakare Paye Arts Centre, a massive multi-million-dollar project pioneered by the legendary musician as a way of giving back to the community.

However, NewsDay last Friday got the rare opportunity to speak to Tuku — as he is affectionately known — for more than two hours after bumping into him at Pakare Paye.
