Tatuu Girl Group: Where Are They Now?

If you are a '90's kid, you definitely remember the Tatuu girl band that was famed for their song, Teso in 2003. You probably grew up listening to their music and fell in love with their voices. 

But where are they now? Angela Ndambuki, Angela Mwandanda and Debby Asila.

Kenyans.co.ke caught up with Ndambuki, who now serves as the CEO at the Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Ndambuki gave incites of what each member of the band was up to. First, she started by giving an account of her work and what it entails.

"We promote businesses and ensure there is a conducive environment for the businesses to thrive, both policy and advocacy work and issues that are affecting business growth.

"We also do trade development which is trade promotion and facilitation maybe trade missions," she spoke. 

She is a lawyer and corporate executive who was previously the CEO of the Performers Rights Society of Kenya (PRISK).

Ndambuki, who was named among Top 40 Women Under 40 in Kenya 2017, is married to Roy Mutungi and together they have two children.

“We met in 2004 in Mombasa. He had come to watch divas night. He is a software guy and is very supportive of me. He is also a great dad to our two girls,” she was once quoted stating.

Angela Mwandanda, on the other hand, is a business developer for a service called My Movies.

In 2019, Mwandanda announced that she would be making a comeback in the entertainment industry and on February 5, 2019, she released a song called 'Presha' featuring Big Pin, Nameless, Mwalimu and Pascal Tokodi.

In the song, Mwandanda depicted the life of a girl who was getting pressure to get married. 

During an interview with a local TV station in February, Mwandanda, who goes by her stage name, Shinde, disclosed that there was a time she felt the pressure which she thought was not necessary.

"I didn't want to get pressured to get married just because everyone was getting married," she stated in the interview.

Despite steering clear from the public, Shinde stated that the three were still very close friends who constantly checked on each other.

"We are still in touch. Tatuu never came together just for the music, we were friends long before, we were performing artistes at phoenix players and we formed a really good bond. Tatuu was a by-product of our friendship. Right now we even have a Whatsapp group," she stated.

Debby Asila, was the other member of the girl band, a Daystar University graduate.

She worked as a radio presenter at Kiss FM and later as a marketer for the Music Copyright Society of Kenya before leaving for California, the US in 2016.

While speaking to Kenyans.co.ke, Ndambuki stated that Debby was in the finance industry.

She is the mother of 14-year-old Milan Arafa, whose father, Shaffie Weru, constantly visits in the US.

The trio met in 1999 at Phoenix Players after they finished school and immediately formed a friendship.

They were David Mathenge alias Nameless' dancers before they ventured into singing.

Some of their songs include; Haiya, Songea, Napepea, Solophobia, and Parapanda.

When asked whether they will do a song in the near future, Ndambuki stated; "Never say never".
