Infectious bhangra rhythm of North Indian wedding celebrations paired with funk, a punch of D.C. go-go beats and hip-hop. RED BARAAT impress with incredibly powerful live performances. They are one of the best live bands around, their music is infectious, sweaty, hypnotic.
With the release of their second album they stormed to #1 on the Billboard World Music Charts in 2012, this catapulted the band on a three year world tour. In addition to playing prestigious jazz and world music festivals such as Pori Jazz Festival Sweden, Sfinksfestival Belgium, Bonnaroo Austin City Limits, Monterey Jazz Festival, New Orleans Jazz Festival, and Peter Gabriel's Festival WOMADelaide in Australia and New Zealand, RED BARAAT played a wide variety of venues including.such as the sold-out Philharmonie in Luxembourg, the Paralympics in England, and the White House in Washington.
In the spring of 2017, RED BARAAT was invited to Abu Dhabi for the first time. With their album "Bhangra Pirates" released in March this year, RED BARAAT will once again exude the infectious flair of Punjabi weddings, Delhi street brass paired with modern jazz and rock on their European tour in autumn 2017.
