Experience what the Wall Street Journal says is, “a Big Band for the world!” Led by Sunny Jain, Red Baraat is the first and only dhol ‘n’ brass band in North America, melding the infectious North Indian rhythm Bhangra with brass funk.
Comprised of dhol (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 favorites with an explosive stage performance and presence.
In the short time since their inception in 2008, the group has delivered blistering performances at the Montreal Jazz Festival, Chicago World Music Festival, Lincoln Center, Madison World Music Festival, 4th Annual Droma Gypsy Festival, Pori Jazz Festival (Finland), Molde Jazz Festival (Norway), the Chicago Folks & Roots Festival, and more.
Red Baraat has been featured in National Geographic, Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker, Relix and Songlines, and others. The group's debut CD, Chaal Baby (Sinj Records), was released in 2010 and was on the list of multiple music critics as a top world music and jazz CD of 2010. Their follow up CD is in the works for a late 2011 release.
Come see why Music Connection Magazine says “Red Baraat is a raucous, blaring, clashing celebration of a multitude of cultures come together as one joyous explosion!” and Peter Margasak of the Chicago Reader trumpets, “The band artfully hybridizes Indian bhangra and something akin to New Orleans second-line funk. Plus it's fun as hell!”
