Red Baraat: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Музыка
Bob Boilen | March 13, 2017 - Red Baraat's fusion of bhangra, go-go, hip-hop and jazz is driven by frontman Sunny Jain's percolating playing of the dhol, a double-sided drum which forms the rhythmic lattice of support for their boisterous horns and guitar. And though Red Baraat graced the Tiny Desk five years ago, we had to have Jain's band back to celebrate Holi, the Hindu festival of color, of good over evil, and the coming of spring. Usually you'd see the dusting of brightly colored perfumed powders strewn in the air, covering bodies and clothing. The notion of doing that in the office was a fun thought, but the band (with my nudging) opted instead for confetti cannons and passing candied treats. It made for quicker cleanup, but their uplifting spirits lingered on, giving us a chance to shake off the final days of winter and demonstrating why music is so essential to the soul.

holy wtf. first time in awhile i've been this surprised by a band. i don't even know what to call this - a little bit of new orleans brass, a little bit of chuck brown drum and bass, a little bit of south asian / middle east flair . . . and then they close it out with what i will call thrash salsa. this was 17 minutes of me having a stupid grin on my face wondering what was coming next . . . my head is spinning and i love it :)

indian / south asia is accurate i think geographically speaking. middle east i'm probably just off on but to my admittedly inexperienced ear some of the chanting / vocals sounded that way. the last song was in spanish and felt like salsa sped up a bit thus i coined the phrase "thrash salsa". at any rate, i hear you - i'm just saying this was an amalgam of so many flavors of music that i haven't heard put together in quite this way before and i enjoyed the heck out of it. cheers.

What tha???? How they heck did these talented people come together and create THIS??? Damn amazing this mashup of styles that work so well together. These musicians must have all traveled the globe on their own paths before coming together as a band in order to be on this musical wavelength together. Thanks NPR! It's rare that I hear an artist or band that excites me these days.
It says the audio engineer is Josh Rogosin. GJ Josh. Another amazing recording.
Besides the EXCELLENT music, I'm in total worship with the state-of-the-art moustache !
This made me cry. It's amazing what humans can do together!
Whoa, this is awesome, but tuba guy has truly made my day. He's dancing around with that tuba like it's nothing.
These guys performed at my friends wedding in Brooklyn and I also saw them live. They made it so lively and fun!
What an infectious performance! The band clearly brought the party to NPR. I am so high on energy right now!!
The sound guy is amazing. Recording a group like that in that space and getting every instrument must be difficult.
