Red Baraat have made a name for themselves as one of the best live bands playing anywhere in the world. Led by dhol drummer Sunny Jain, the nine-piece group (comprising a dhol [a double-sided barrel-shaped North Indian drum slung over one shoulder] drumset, percussion, a sousaphone, and five horns) melds the infectious North Indian rhythm Bhangra with a host of sounds, namely funk, go-go, Latin, and jazz. Simply put, Sunny Jain and Red Baraat have created and defined a sound entirely their own, which NPR has called “the best party band in years.”
Spinning the best in international music beforehand will be Jesse Kaminsky (of The Intercontinental, Imperialisms, sculptor, musician).
