Red Baraat

Red Baraat is the first and only dhol 'n' brass band of its kind in the States, melding the infectious North Indian rhythms of bhangra with brass funk and expressing the human spirit through improvisation and a powerful live sound. Comprised of dhol (double-sided, barrel-shaped North Indian drum slung over one shoulder), percussion and horns, this NYC-based group plays fresh originals, as well as traditional Punjabi songs and Bollywood numbers with an explosive stage performance and presence.

"The band artfully hybridizes Indian bhangra and something akin to New Orleans second-line funk. Plus it's fun as hell." -- Chicago Reader
