Born and brought up in Germany, Roman Chowdhury's music and poetry reflect his bi-cultural heritage, his mother being German and his father, Bengali. In his first solo album, to be released in fall 2007, he has succeeded in bringing together, both musically and personally, musicians of extraordinary quality and depth. "You and Me" is a culmination of a multi-facetted body of experience. The album is an autobiographical reflection of Roman's identity as a person of color, a contemplation of his experience, personal and political.Roman has performed and recorded with various nationally renowned jazz, pop and world music formations, like Gefilte Fish (FARAO classic, www.gefilte-fish.net) and the legendary Weather Girls, playing with outstanding musicians like Joe Rappaport, Enrique Ugarte, Andrea Giani and Ranajit Sengupta in Germany, Austria, Greece, India, Bangladesh and the USA, appearing on several occasions on German national TV.A pioneer in the creation of a second generation German-South Asian community, he was involved in founding "Munich Masala", an association organizing cultural events like documentary-film screenings, concerts, readings and desi club nights to promote a greater awareness of the diversity of South Asian diaspora culture in Germany. These efforts began a movement that has spread throughout Germany, leading to Roman Chowdhury's touring the country as a popular DJ of new South Asian sounds.
