Blue Cranes Band

The Blue Cranes Band Story is one which Started like a Joke and became a real success.Bbaale Tegutangirwa Aloysius who was born in Uganda in 1959 left Uganda for Germany in 1991. He started a new life in Germany together with his family.

He is known to be the founder of the “The Blue Cranes Band” which to date has released 34 Tracks in 4 Albums. The first Album “Europe Ennemye” was first released in 1995.

Bbaale himself who was making music part time and working as a carrier driver in Munich, used this chance to meet more than 40 different people a day, in different companies and different cities and was able to sell his own CD to his customers.

Using a polite language with his customers, he was able to ask them to support his band by paying $10 for each CD. 85% of the people he asked, where interested in buying and they bought. He did this for almost 2 years, until he became known to many Germans. In Munich City alone, “The Blue Cranes Band” sold thousands of copies between 1995-98. The money he collected continued to build the band, and the band has been releasing 1 album almost every 2 years! Now the band is dealing with big companies to sell its music worldwide.

At the moment, the band has 8 permanent members including Bbaale’s daughter Teddy Nakyajja Bbaale, who recently changed to “Teddy Götz” after she got married to a German.
She still helps her father by backing him up with her female vocals and she is still a permanent member of the band.
Charles Nsambya Bbaale, also Bbaale´s son is also a member of the band, but not very active because of his studies.

Omuana Isaacs from Munich is doing a wonderful job with the Band. Julie Najjumba, Olivia Nantongo, Sophie Nancy, Babra Bogere, John Bosco Mugabi, Rosemary Wambui from Kenya, Nowela Angwella, all have to be appreciated!
