Red Baraat recently performed an electrifying Tiny Desk concert showcasing their unique fusion of rollicking funk music inspired by Northern India's wedding celebrations, blending D.C. go-go beats and hip-hop elements. Led by dhol player Sunny Jain, the band's lively performance at the intimate NPR space featured brass instruments like saxophones, trumpet, trombone, and sousaphone delivering uplifting melodies that appeal to jazz enthusiasts and rock fans alike.
