In India, the Coromandel Express is a train that runs along the Coromandel Coast from Kolkata to Chennai. We decided to borrow the name for our band because we feel it represents our unique musical identity. The train links India’s musically-distinctive northern and southern regions, and in a way, our group is also a union of various musical styles. Yo (sitar) and Waka (tabla) represent the Hindustani style of North India, while Paige (flutes) and Cody (kanjira/percussion) bring influences from the Carnatic genre of the South, as well as infuse elements from their Western music backgrounds. Like the train, the performers in Coromandel Express meet in the middle to serve up a “musical masala” that is at once peaceful, vibrant, expressive, and exciting. Drawing from Indian genres (classical and folk), Western styles (jazz, classical, and rock), and other World music idioms, Coromandel Express is fusion within fusion.
