At the end of 1995 he, released his first album "Volume 1 Europe
Ennemye!"
It was his first album but people madly liked it! The first track "Europe
ennemye" was more popular in Kampala and it was always played on
FM stations especially, CBS and Radio Uganda. CBS decided to choose
2 tracks from that album for advertisement purposes for the National
housing & Construction Corporation.
“Europe ennemye” advises all Ugandans living abroad to come back home
and build
Kampala, which the singer claimed to be the best city in the world!
CBS decided to start one of its programs with that song as an introduction!
The third track "Tulina okulima!" which was originally sung
by his daughter Teddy Nakyajja Bbaale who was 13yrs by that time was
the introduction song for another programme also on CBS about agriculture
for a long time! Since then, Bbaale has been familiar on Uganda’s FMs
and also in Europe and North America.
He released his second album "Volume 2 Omugagga muleke!"
with 8 tracks in 1997, which was liked by Ugandans living in the Diaspora.
At the end of 1998, he released his third album "Volume 3 Nalwaana
Ntalo Zange!" which was marketed in both Germany and UK.
In 2003 together with different musicians like, Omuana Isaacs based
in Munich Germany, Julie Najjumba based in Heillbronn Germany, Olivia
Nantongo based in ... USA, Babra Bogere
based in Kampala Uganda, Sophie Nancy based in Munich Germany, Rosemary
Wambui, a
Kenyan girl living in Munich, David Weraga based in UK etc., he released
his fourth album "Volume 4 Mundeke Nkyaagale!". This is his

Bbaale has been entertaining Ugandans all over Europe in different
cities like, Munich, Frankfurt, Berlin, Heillbronn, Amsterdam, Stockholm,
Oslo, Copenhagen etc. Most Ugandans living in Germany can’t miss any
of his albums, but 75% of his music is sold to the Germans who amazingly
like it, even if it’s in Luganda! He usually performs with German Bands
singing in Luganda!!!
He can speak fluently and write in 4 different languages: Luganda,
English, German and Swahili. In Volume 4 you find one song, track no
6 "Ngenze n´Omukikuyu" which he did together with one
Kikuyu girl singing in Luganda, Swahili and Kikikuyu!
Believe it or not, Bbaale is slowly becoming a star. He got a chance
to perform on stage with other Ugandan musicians like Titan Takuba in
Dortmund Germany and with Bebe Cool, Boby Wine, Ziggy D, Emperor Orlando
in London on Easter this year. He is expected to perform on "Ekibbiitu
kya Kabaka" in London, on 28 08 04.
Bbaale has worked with many different musicians and this has developed
him into a musician without identity; playing mainly his own free style
music: In his albums, you can find Reggae beats, Sukusa, Rhumba, Salsa,
etc. Because he performs in different cultures, he always makes himself
ready for the occasion.
Bbale is about to release his new album "Volume 5" and he
is one of the few Rasta men on the planet who doesn’t smoke and doesn’t
take alcohol.
He loves Ugandan music and through Internet, he is always up-to-date
with what is going on in Uganda. He respects and loves all Ugandan musicians.
For Elly Wamala, Afrigo Band, Ronald Mayinja and Geoffrey Lutaaya, he
likes their way of singing, and they’re are his best.
As a human being, he has fans and enemies who always try to discourage
him, but he always stays strong knowing that God is with him and will
help him to keep to his motto:
"NJA KUBA MUZIKA!" which means that he will be always a musician.Performing in Kampala is Bbaale’s dream, which he knows he shall achieve
in the near future. |
