The legendary iconic girl group Blu *3 comprising Jackie Chandiru, Lilian Mbabazi, and Cindy Sanyu sat down with legendary artiste Julianna Kanyomozi during the ‘Sit Down with Juliana at the Kampala Sheraton hotel in an emotional conversation.
The girls literally talked about everything from what inspired their reunion, to the lessons from their early fallout among others. Cindy went deep about what she felt after leaving the group, Lilian talked about her journey with grief and Jackie was candid about her fight with drugs and watching everyone move ahead of her from the sidelines. The girls revealed their favourite songs, and it was revealed that Jackie wrote some of the Blu 3 hit songs like Hitaji.
Perhaps the highlight of this interview was the revelation that Jackie’s fight with addiction inspired them to set aside their differences, remember who they are, and come together at the same table and talk. The girls who spoke with nostalgia about their early years revealed that uniting and being in the same room wasn’t easy, they cried, forgave, fought, but worked out their differences and are now the best of friends.
In this conversation, the ladies fondly talked about what Steve Jean, the foundation of their careers means to them, his brilliance and intensity. They also disclosed that Aly Allibhai, the C.E.O of Talent Africa Group is the future. They were candid about how he embraced them with no judgments, and no conditions when they wanted to do a reunion concert together. Cindy Sanyu revealed they have a new song together and shed light on what this new Blu 3 looks like.
“Picture a blue 3 with all the growth that they have gone through. We are going to embody that. You have never seen somebody on stage who has overcome drugs. Grief… all those stories in there. I want you to come and watch that. Feel the pain, feel the power, as a person, I can’t bring that. But being 3 of us together, that power can only be got on the 22nd” said Cindy Sanyu towards the end of the conversation”
The trio is preparing for their Legends of Sound Blu 3 reunion concert slated for the 22nd of June 2024 at Kampala Sheraton Gardens.
