Biography

There is a story behind the personification of COLOR BRIDGE. For any sort of creative work, one should look back intensely into the background of the creation. They are doing Funk and Soul music and if they don`t know the background of it then all their effective manifestations will definitely go in vain. From their journey they found that this music came from Slave culture. Side by side they came across with the word `lu-fuki` which means ‘bad body odour’. Many eminent African and Afro – American philosophers postulate that the word ‘funky’ has its semantic roots in the Kikongo word `lu-fuki`. They also believe that both Jazzmen and Bakongo tribe use the words `funky’ and ‘lu-fuki` to praise persons for the integrity of their art and to achieve their aims. As the day passed by and they got deeply involved into this matter, suddenly one thing struck their mind that they are also `coloured people` and they also have to deal with the same type of hazards in different manners in their so called mundane life. From that point of view one can say that they are the representatives of those people. Through their music they can preach their glory with dignity. It is their salute to the great warriors who made an incredible footprint in such musical movements. So they want to make a bridge through their music to connect to them. Here they are-in front of you. They are COLOR BRIDGE that much they can say……. Gigs played  15. Inferno Fusion Night with Color Bridge @ Inferno Lounge (Chrome Hotel, Kolkata) November 2013  14.
