Africa's Destinys Child is what we call Blu3;
Uganda's hottest female all-girl group
with Jackie Chandiru, Lillian Mbabazi and Mya Baganda
as its members.
Up until 2008, Blu*3 was the undisputed all-girl popular music group in Uganda. It comprised Lee (Lillian Mbabazi), Cindy (Cinderella Sanyu) and Jacqui Chandiru. Blu*3 formed after its members won the Coca Cola Popstars competition in 2004. Backed by producer Steve Jean, it quickly established itself as one of the country's top acts. The group's first hit, Hitaji won them the Video of the Year prize in the Pearl of Africa Music Awards, 2005.
In early 2008, the group was renamed "Blu3" - without the star - after Cindy left in unclear circumstances. According to the other members of the group, Cindy left to pursue a solo career but Cindy told the media that she asked for time off to take a holiday in Spain, only to be kicked out by the group. Cindy has since been replaced by Mya Baganda, formerly with Obsessions and Kombat Dancers. Cindy however did not waste time in launching her solo career, her first single Mbikooye was in August 2008 and a 14-track album, featuring collaborations with Bebe Cool, Navio and Nigeria's P-Square.
Blu3 has since performed all over Africa and Europe. Their new single TOGETHER
