Lincoln Center says…

 

“The doyenne of Indian pop in the United States.” – The Boston Globe on DJ Rekha

 

"A raucous, blaring, clashing celebration of a multitude of cultures come together as one joyous explosion." - Music Connection Magazine on Red Baraat

 

DJ Rekha has pioneered a uniquely New York spin on Punjabi-rooted bhangra and Bollywood disco beats with her long-running parties, galvanizing a generation of South Asian dancers. “Baraat” may be the Hindi word for “wedding processional”, but drummer Sunny Jain's funky brass and dhol band Red Baraat could only have been forged in NYC. Its hyper-animated music is one part bhangra, one part bluesy second-line and a non-stop party.
Note: Extended DJ sets. One band set at 8:00
