The Ganda Boys

The Ganda Boys was formed during 2008 through an exciting collaboration on the highly acclaimed 2009 BBC-TV drama series, MOSES JONES, which has been nominated for a 2010 BAFTA Award for Best Original Music Score by Ganda Boys, Craig Pruess. The founding members of the Ganda Boys, Denis Muggaga, Craig Pruess and Daniel Sewagudde, met while writing songs for the live band sequences for Moses Jones and they got on like a house on fire! They immediately found that they had a special sound and style together – and that they could write lots of songs as a team (so easily!) and the result was immediate, soulful, amazing and rewarding. Bringing an international and professional feel to all the recordings, they finished their first album, “The War of Love”, within six months, and the final CD is remarkable – a milestone in vibrant African fusion music.

Although the origins of much of the Ganda Boys music are Ugandan, the album has a “United Africa” feeling to it, with a high level of live band production and rich recorded sound. There is an element of film music to it, too, where the soul of the songs touches one with the poignant stories from Africa, including songs of separation and struggle.

Denis and Dan, formerly of well-known Ugandan group, DaTwinz, combine their dynamic and soulful vocals with Craig’s big sound vision. Craig, an American living many years in the UK, is an international film composer and gold and platinum record producer and arranger, besides being a multi-instrumentalist, sound designer and world fusion expert. The Ganda Boys have a new and arresting, contagious energy to it, where the songs take on a life of their own, touching the listener directly to the heart.

The Ganda Boys immediately started the Ganda Foundation charitable organisation for bringing First World awareness to poverty and suffering in the Third World. Music is such an effective way to inform, galvanise and inspire people! See the Ganda Foundation website for more info.
