Rudra and Friends is a LIVE band based out of the capital city of West Bengal, Kolkata.
The super group was formed in 2012. Initially, it was named as Bare Moon and released two singles –Bhalo Theko Mon and The Football Song – in 2012 and 2013 respectively. They had composed a song for the FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour that took place in Kolkata in 2013.
In early 2014, the band was disbanded due to various reasons. Rudra and Ratul did a lot of work as solo musicians.
In late 2015, the band was reformed with a little change in the lineup. And this time, they wanted to carry on with the name, Rudra and Friends.
The main focus of the band’s music is recreating Bollywood songs in its own way! They have released the first song of the series in 2016 which is Dil se Re from the film, Dil se, originally composed by AR Rahman.
