Sonny Singh at Mama Tried (In Person)

Gig Alerts | Jun 18, 2021

Sonny Singh of Red Baraat at Mama Tried (In Person)
Thurs., June 24. 8PM. 787 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn

Sonny Singh has been the longtime trumpeter in the Brooklyn-based Punjabi dance band Red Baraat. Now Singh is putting out a solo project that marries Sikh devotional songs to the sounds of funk, reggae, mariachi, and Punjabi wedding music. The songs reflect the Sikh concept of revolutionary optimism as a way of fighting oppression and injustice. It sounds serious, because it is; but it’s also a lot of fun. Sonny Singh plays Thursday evening, June 24, at the Brooklyn club called Mama Tried. This song is "Mitar Pyare Nu", or Go Tell My Beloved Friend:
