Led by drummer Sunny Jain, Red Baraat is the first and only dhol !n' brass band of its kind in the States, melding the infectious North Indian rhythm Bhangra with brass funk and soca and expressing the human spirit through improvisation and a powerful, live, raw sound. This marching band brings to the States the energy and excitement of the musical festivities found at Indian weddings. 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 a modern touch.
