If color, music and festivals get your motor running, then Red Baraat will have you cheering when the band brings its Festival of Colors to the Mint on March 11.
Red Baraat will showcase its Northern India-style fusion funk and celebrate the Hindu holiday of Holi in a most joyous manner.
The New York band’s modern South Asia-style of blended music engages audiences of all ages and nationalities and embraces Holi, the most colorful holiday on the Hindu calendar.
During Holi, South Asian people throw colored powder at each other and celebrate their blessings.
In a similar manner, Red Baraat makes their performance colorful, wearing festive clothing and embracing the party style in their music, keeping it fresh and upbeat.
Great care is taken on the part of the Brooklyn-based musicians to keep the music new and the spiritual season to make the Hindu holiday an upbeat adventure.
Band leader Sunny Jain conceived the idea of blending North Indian bhangra with jazz and horns, and the results have been positive.
Completely original and innovative, Red Baraat deserves its rave reviews and has a devoted fan base. The band’s June 2018 release “Sound The People” scored a top 10 position on the World Music Charts Europe. Red Baraat brings its message of inclusivity around the world, and the band has fans everywhere they have played including, Abu Dhabi, Kazakhstan, Canada and Europe.
