RED BARAAT - SUNDAYS IN JUNE AT BARBES
June 7, 14, 21, 28
10pm-midnight
.
You’ve seen them jam with Ed Sheeran in the Netflix show “One Shot” and heard them on the song “Ai Miei Amici” with Italian Superstar, Jovanotti. The band’s 2017 NPR Tiny Desk Concert is touted as the 8th top performance of all time by New York Magazine and their 2025 album, Bhangra Rangeela (Sinj Records), confirms they are one of most vital bands out there.
Red Baraat is a pioneering band from Brooklyn, New York. Conceived by dhol player Sunny Jain, the group has drawn worldwide praise for its singular sound, a merging of hard driving Punjabi rhythms with elements of hip-hop, jazz and raw punk energy. The band’s live shows are an unparalleled collision of virtuosity, party, and joy, as Red Baraat reminds us that we are truly all in this together.

“Which Side Are You On?” - written by Florence Reece during the United Mine Workers strikes in 1931, with additional verses by the Resistance Revival Chorus
CHORUS
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on, oh?
Which side are you on?
Come all of you good workers
Good news to you I’ll tell
Of how that good old union
Has come in here to dwell
Don’t scab for the bosses
Don’t listen to their lies
Us poor folk haven’t got a chance
Unless we organize!
Our planet is on fire
The billionaires to blame
They’d rather plant a flag on mars
Than face up to their shame
The tired and the poor
Those yearning to breathe free
the huddled many masses
They are you and me
These tyrants have put money where
their heart’s supposed to be
they’ll never stop the people
from fighting to be free
