In November 2011 Wagner, along with Detroit musicians Ray Goodman, Dennis Burr, Prakash John, Jim McCarty, Johnny Bee Badanjek, Jimmie Bones, Ty Stone, Robert Wagner, Muruga, and Pat Lewis, recorded Motor City Music at Harmonie Park Studios in Detroit in support of Franciscan monk Brother Al Mascia's "Bicycle Ministry."
With the help of veteran soul producer Rena Sinakin, Michael Chance recorded early song demos with such laudable talents as Robert Martin (Orleans, Frank Zappa, Etta James), Wayne "Tex" Gabriel (of John Lennon and Elephant's Memory), Steve "Muruga" Booker (of the Parliament-Funkadelic), Steve Wise (Stevie Wonder's protégé), and Bruce Hawes, a pioneer of The Sound of Philadelphia.
Muruga Booker has also formed his own version of the Rainforest Band and released a CD in 2010 featuring Badal Roy, Perry Robinson and the final recordings of James Gurley.
An epic composed in the seventeenth century and known as Kapadapuram relates that Muruga killed Surapadman, a demon, in this place.
