Club Balattou - Montréal 11,28 $
· by Rédaction PAN M 360

Chanda&The Passengers began in 2016 when Zander Masser (guitar) posted an online ad looking for funk/soul musicians for a new band. The process works wonders: a few weeks later, the 7 members of Chanda&The Passengers start meeting weekly to write and develop their sound.

Montreal-born Chanda Holmes (vocals) pushes the band in a soul and R&B direction. She takes the stage at every show, winning over the audience. Pierre Emond (Saxophone) studied jazz at McGill before leaving to live and play in Europe for 15 years. Carlos Casique (Piano) immigrated to Canada from Venezuela to become a musician; he takes care of the jazz harmony and Latin rhythms in the songs. Zander Masser (Guitar), originally from New York, has played in dozens of bands in the U.S. and now wants to bring the groove to Canada. Laurent Massie (bass), has spent his life playing in Quebec in funk, prog and pop bands. He anchors and pushes the band’s pieces. Gonzalo Camelo (trumpet) hails from Colombia and brings the classic salsa sound he has developed over a long international musical career. Finally, RomainPeynichou (drums), from Paris, mixes his passion for funk music and jazz drums into Chanda&The Passengers’ pieces.

After two years of existence and over 30 shows, the band has been pushed towards the recording of “Medicinal Love”, released on February 14, 2019. It’s at live shows that Chanda&The Passengers really come into their own; it’s there that the band members let their individualities shine through the most, the group cohesion they’ve developed, and above all the deep love they have for Funk music.”

Chanda & The Passengers débute en 2016 lorsque Zander Masser (guitare) publie une annonce en ligne recherchant des musiciens funk/soul pour un nouveau band. Le processus fonctionne à merveille : quelques semaines plus tard, les 7 membres de Chanda & The Passengers commencent à se rencontrer hebdomadairement pour écrire et développer leur son.

Chanda Holmes (chant), originaire de Montréal, pousse le band dans une direction Soul et R&B. C’est elle qui s’empare de la scène à chaque spectacle et conquit le public. Pierre Emond (Saxophone) a étudié le Jazz à McGill avant de partir vivre et jouer en Europe pendant 15 ans. Carlos Casique (Piano) a immigré au Canada depuis le Venezuela pour devenir musicien ; il se charge de l’harmonie jazz et des rythmes latins dans les morceaux. Zander Masser (Guitare), provenant de New York, a jouer dans des dizaines de formations aux Etats-Unis et souhaite maintenant faire vivre le groove au Canada. Laurent Massie (basse), a passé sa vie à jouer au Québec dans des formations funk, prog et pop. C’est lui ancre et pousse les pièces du band. Gonzalo Camelo (trompette) vient de Colombie et apporte le son classique salsa qu’il a su développer au cours d’une longue carrière musicale internationale. Finalement, Romain Peynichou (batterie), provenant de Paris, mixe sa passion pour la musique funk et la batterie jazz dans les pièces de Chanda & The Passengers.

Après deux ans d’existence et plus de 30 spectacles, la formation a été poussé vers l’enregistrement de “Medicinal Love”, sorti le 14 Février 2019. C’est en spectacle que Chanda & The Passengers prennent tout leur sens ; c’est là que les membres du groupes laissent le plus transparaître leur individualités, la cohésion de groupe qu’ils ont développé, et surtout l’amour profond qu’ils portent à la musique Funk.”
