Red Baraat is a pioneering eight-piece band from Brooklyn, New York. Conceived by Sunny Jain, the group has drawn worldwide praise for its singular sound — “rollicking funk music steeped in Northern India’s wedding celebrations, with a dash of D.C. go-go beats and hip-hop” (NPR). Created with no less a purposeful agenda than manifesting joy and unity in all people, Red Baraat’s spirit is worn brightly on its sweaty and hard-worked sleeve. And is being returned to them in cities all over the world, as word spreads of the band’s incredibly powerful live performances.

“The best party band in years” – NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO (NPR)
“There was a raucous finale. The last set belonged to Red Baraat, a Brooklyn brass band that
looks to South Asia, pumping out Bollywood tunes and Sufi songs with a crackling beat (from the
two headed dhol drum) and the muscle of horns blasting in unison, putting some New York
bluster atop faraway roots.”
