Brass and Bhangra: Red Baraat and "Akhiyan Udeek Diyan"

Red Baraat brings us today's raucous random tune, which sounds like someone dropped a New Orleans brass band in the middle of an Indian village celebration. Founded in 2008 by Sunny Jain, Red Baraat hails from Brooklyn and has been called one of the best party bands around by NPR. An eight piece outfit, they feature instrumentation such as the dhol, drumset and other percussion, sousaphone and other horns. They have played a variety of festivals around the United States and the world. This song, Akhiyan Udeek Diyan, can be found on 2015 release, Gaadi of Truth.
