Red Baraat

Red Baraat is a pioneering eight-piece band from Brooklyn, New York who made a name for themselves as one of the best live bands playing anywhere in the world. Led by dhol drummer Sunny Jain, the drum, brass and guitar band delivers an unprecedented, high energy, gut-busting fusion of jazz, hip-hop beats, rock muscle, funky go-go and scalding hot bhangra.

Staten Island Steel Pan Orchestra

The opening act is a Staten Island-based ensemble of talented young people called Staten Island Steel Pan Orchestra (SISPO). This musical ensemble is an integral part of the WeCreate after school program which has an interdisciplinary focus and holistic approach to learning and a program of the Weeks Educational and Social Advocacy Project [WESAP]. It provides positive after school activities for teens and younger children.  The melodic steel pans are the basis for all instruction in music and artistic performance.  Steel pan music is one of many activities to do after school for WeCreate participants.
