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

Now Singh is putting out a solo project that marries Sikh devotional songs to the sounds of funk, reggae, mariachi, and Punjabi wedding music.

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:
