Red Baraat

America's only South Asian wedding band Red Baraat fires on all cylinders with its blistering new studio album, Bhangra Rangeela (Sinj Records) -- the band's first release since 2018 -- as dhol drummer Sunny Jain and his cast of NYC's finest multi-instrumentalists bring bombastic beats and fiery horns to dance floors in North American venues this spring 2025.

On March 24, Red Baraat will release Bhangra Pirates (Rhyme & Reason Records), a new album that reflects a more evolved and elaborate sound developed over the last two years of heavy touring and the addition of a full-time guitar player. The record features 8 tracks on the band’s first-ever vinyl release and 2 bonus tracks on the CD version.

Red Baraat were at the center of the biggest musical event of New York City’s summer season. The pioneering Brooklyn band were commissioned by NPR to produce a new composition – the sheet music for which was posted on NPR and other high traffic websites – with the direction to readers and amateur players to learn the music and be a part of the premiere of the performance on the steps of the Brooklyn Public Library.
