See Red Baraat – the opening concert at PASIC 2023. 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, a merging of hard driving North Indian bhangra 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.

Red Baraat has built a startling history of performances in iconic settings, but the band’s bread and butter remains the sweaty clubs, festivals, packed performing arts centers, and college auditoriums that keeps the band on the road all over the world the last several years. It’s here where Red Baraat does what it does best — communing with their audience in a joyful, near hedonistic celebration of music and dance which, tellingly, draws a crowd even more diverse than the players on stage.

Want more than just one show? See this concert, plus over 100 clinics, performances, and sessions at the Percussive Arts Society International Convention from November 8-11, 2023, in Indianapolis. Register today at pasic.org/registration.
