Melding the infectious North Indian rhythm Bhangra with brass funk, Red Baraat is one of the most explosive and joyful live bands you will ever experience. Comprised of dhol (a double-sided, barrel-shaped North Indian drum slung over one shoulder), drumset, percussion, sousaphone, and 5 horns, this NYC-based group plays fresh originals and Bollywood classics with an unstoppable energy that whips audiences into an ecstatic frenzy everywhere they play.
Professional dance instruction provided by Gobind Singh.
"The band artfully hybridizes Indian bhangra and something akin to New Orleans second-line funk. Plus it's fun as hell." --Chicago Reader
"A Big Band for the World" --Wall Street Journal
"Just watching them make music is a pure shot of adrenaline" --India Currents
