Red Baraat UK Tour

The seriously hot, larger-than-life, Brooklyn based dhol 'n' brass band Red Baraat will be flying in from New York City this September for their debut UK tour.

The nine piece band led by dhol drummer Sunny Jain consists of dhol, drums, percussion, a sousaphone and a five piece horn section. The band fuse the infectious North Indian rhythms of bhangra with funk, jazz, Latin and go-go and their sound is big, brassy and full of energy.

Their electric live performances have caused a stir across the US, rocking audiences in basements and warehouses as well as prestigious venues such as New York's Lincoln Centre, Washington's The Kennedy Centre, Chicago World Music Festival and the Montreal Jazz Festival. The band also performed at the ultra-prestigious flagship TED Conference in Long Beach, CA this spring.

The group's debut album 'Chaal Baby' was voted by several US music magazines as the best world music release in 2010. The follow up album 'Bootleg Bhangra' captures the band's incredibly powerful live performance and rapturous live sound on record. 'Chaal Baby' will be on general release in the UK in August 2012.

This tour is part of the London 2012 Festival, a nationwide celebration bringing together artists from all over the world in celebration of the Games.

Dig out your dancing shoes and hot foot it down to one of their performances, you won't regret it!
