Red Baraat is a pioneering band from Brooklyn, New York. Conceived by dhol player Sunny Jain, the group has drawn worldwide praise for its singular sound that merges hard driving Punjabi rhythms with elements of hip-hop, jazz, and raw punk energy. 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. The band's 2017 NPR Tiny Desk Concert is touted as the #8 top performances of all time by New York Magazine.

The Boston Globe called Red Baraat's irresistible sound "new-breed marching-band music that's part Punjabi wedding, part New Orleans second line, and all New York." Led by the charismatic percussionist Sunny Jain, the Brooklyn octet whips up a raucously fun mix of Indian bhangra rhythms, go-go music, jazz, hip-hop and Crescent City brass funk.
