They are back and from the look of things, they are back for good, yes, we are talking about the 3 Beautiful Ladies of Uganda (Blu 3) and Cinderalla Sanyu alias The King Herself is nu-apologetic having spent 15years from parting ways as a team and each member of the group going their own way, call it ‘solo.’
While appearing for the press conference held Tuesday June 11, 2024 at Sheraton Hotel Kampala, Cindy responded to the claims that music trends have greatly changed and that they can’t promise Ugandans old when new is what everyone else is looking for, The King Herself said that there is no better music than blu 3’s.
“Let me tell you the truth since you seem to be lost in a different world, blu 3 is still the biggest musical group in Uganda with the big music hits of all time and its needless to say we still matter in the music industry. Real music still matters, our music matters that’s why people want us to reunite so badly because they miss real music and forget what you hear today on you radio and TV, real is Blu 3 and real is our old music.”
On the timing, rather when they thought it wise to get back as a group, Cindy revealed that the reunion conversation has been ongoing for a long time until or recent in March this year (2024) when the girls decided to come back together and reconsider doing their thing as a group like they did way back then!
The ‘Run this City” songstress who disclosed that she joined blu 3 before she clocked 18 years, rallied the music lovers and fans to grab the chance and be part of those witnessing when history repeats itself at the legends of sound blu 3 reunion concert come Saturday June 22, 2024 at Sheraton Hotel Gardens.
Jackie Chandiru on her side exclaimed that now that they are back together as blu 3 classic group, Ugandans, Africans and the world should expect just yet the best of music again.
“When I heard of our reunion, clearly I could whisper to myself, ‘Finally we can see some real music again,’ For sure, me of all people, I have been looking forward to us reconnecting, reuniting and share the same stage again, and I can’t believe that the time has finally come. Not to brag but just know I can’t listen to the music of nowadays even for a week, it bores and fades away as quickly as you hear it not like the kind of music we used to do together.”
Whereas Lilian Mbabazi said, their separation from the onset only felt as if they even never left! I have patiently waited for this moment to come and ohhh! I have actually been nostalgic for our reunion.”
All we can say is get ready to groove to the legendary tunes of Blu 3 at the Talent Africa Group, Stanbic Bank Legends of Sound Blu 3 Reunion Concert which is a very clear manifestation of an unforgettable night of music, nostalgia, and celebration.
Aly Alibhai said, his journey with Blu 3 dates 17 years back when he was working hand in hand with Steve Jean to bring the best of Blu 3. ”We have worked with Blu 3 since day one, I have worked with the ladies even on their different solo careers and when they came to me at the beginning of this year talking of the reunion, there was a no brainer for us to say yes to their request.”
On behalf Stanbic Bank, the event’s main sponsor, Dianah Kahunde, Brand and Marketing Manager, revealed that the historic event is part of the bank’s commitment to celebrating Ugandan talent, culture and music which has been very instrumental in uniting people as well as acting as an employment opportunity in the arts industry.
