In just over two short years, the pioneering Brooklyn dhol and brass party juggernaut
Red
Baraat have become known as one of the best live bands playing anywhere. Brooklyn nine-piece party-starters Red Baraat are thus far the most exciting local prospect of this short year, a fiery blend of raucous Indian bhangra and funky New Orleans brass.
Led by dhol player Sunny Jain, the nine piece (comprised of dhol ((double-sided barrel shaped North Indian drum slung over one shoulder)) drumset, percussion, sousaphone, and 5 horns melds the infectious North Indian rhythm Bhangra with a host of sounds, namely funk, go-go, latin, and jazz..
Their debut CD, Chaal Baby is an unstoppable blend of Bollywood hijacks and funk freakier than anything Madlib picked up on his trip to India.
This rare intimate performance will be the band's debut at the Mercury Lounge and promises to go late. INFO: http://www.mercuryloungenyc.com/event/53765

(Doors Open: 6:30PM)Susmit Sen, performing solo in NYC!
The founder and guitarist of India’s greatest band, Indian Ocean, is essentially self-taught and has virtually invented a new style of playing guitar.
To give credit to Susmit Sen for the amalgamation of Indian Classical music with Western rock and jazz would be a serious understatement as the sound that emanates from the only folk-rock band in India is beyond categorization. Founder of the four-piece band Indian Ocean, and one of the leading jazz acoustic guitar players in India, Susmit Sen has come a long way from being just another name on the circuit to becoming a highly respected avant-garde musician of our times. Susmit creates an uncanny Indian sound where purity of scale reigns and strong melodic lines are woven around the drone of open strings. “Susmit Sen’s fluid guitar lines recall Jerry Garcia and John McLaughlin at their finest.” Simon Sweetman, The Dominion Post, New Zealand.

SangeetSabha is delighted to present Indo-Jazz groups “Namaskar” and "Tarana"...
a fusion of modern Jazz and Hundustani and Carnatic systems of music.
Sameer Gupta, Ravish Momin, Trina Basu, Neel Murgai, Arun Ramamurthy are NYC based musicians who are inspired and influenced by both, the West and the East.
Will present two groups:
1- Sameer Gupta's Namaskar, which derives from Classical Indian Melodies (yes, influences from films such as Mugal-e-Azam etc.) and Indian Rhythms (Sameer is a student of Pt. Anindo Chatterjee).
2- Ravish Momin's Tarana is also heavily influenced by the rhythms of the East (Ravish has studied the South Indian and Hindustani systems of beats and is heavily influenced by them) and explores the boundaries of Jazz using this torch. Trina and Arun are well known figures as young Carnatic violin players, and Neel continues to find new grounds in the contemporary music scene with his Sitar. Marc Cary on the Piano is one of the best known Jazz pianists on the scene.
