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."
