5 singers with an amazing capacity of capturing immediately the attention of their audience. 5 singers who bring warmth and rich voices. The comments at the end of the concert keep coming back: Impressive performance, amazing rich and deep voices, fun and kind. Three out of the 5 members of Aba Taano were trained in the tribal choir of Música para salvar vidas in Uganda since 2005. During those years, they were trained by Jingo George in Uganda (Music director of the Catholic Church in Uganda). In 2008 they decided to form Aba Taano (The 5, in their language, the Luganda), still trained by Jingo George, but by then, three of them started music lessons at AIM, a Korean school established in Kampala where the director of the ensemble, Ssenteza Derrick obtained his degree. Their debut was in Spain, at the African pavilion of the International Fair for Water in Zaragoza. During that period in August 2008, they performed 8 times a day, for one full week. And it then that it was immediately proved that they had an amazing capacity for attracting publics. After eleven years performing together, they have done over 2000 concerts, have recorded 7 cds and have won 11 international prizes. Aba Taano has sang in Spain, in huge halls like the Palau de la Música in Barcelona, Teatro San Pol in Madrid, etc.., but as well in France (Boulogne sur mer), in Germany ( In Frankfurt, Berlin, Leipzig (in Gewandhaus), in Holland, Belgium (at the Flanders Festival), in Portugal, in Austria (Inntöne Jazz Festival), in Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Tcheque Republik, Hungary and Finland and the Vatican. And everywhere they sing the reply of the public is the same.
