Two of her albums, ‘Quiet Now’ and ‘Mama Africa’ (a collaboration with the Brussels Jazz Orchestra) were awarded a South African Music Award (SAMA) for Best Jazz Album (in 2010 and 2011).
Besides music, Tutu has also been more and more involved with theatre, playing a part in the dance theatre production “Speak Low If You Speak Love” including being one of the actresses in an all-star cast of the very successful and award-winning “Dear Winnie”production.
