Move Mix Festival
featuring Red Baraat
with performances by Ady Martinez Latin Dance Party, Caliente Dance Company, and Sher Bhangra
5 pm Tuesday, September 12, 2023
Eisenhower Auditorium

The Center for the Performing Arts multicultural Move Mix Festival will celebrate in one space traditional Indian and contemporary Latine dance and modern bhangra music in an exploration of global sounds united by percussive beats and danceable rhythms.

Bring your lawn chairs and a picnic for the informal block party-style event featuring dance, grooves, and positive vibes. The free, outdoor Move Mix Festival featuring Red Baraat will provide space for playful town-and-gown mingling.

Red Baraat, a Brooklyn-based “big band for the world” (The Wall Street Journal), will headline the festival. The ensemble of musicians with South Asian roots melds brass-band jazz, northern Indian bhangra, hip-hop beats, and jazz-jam band aesthetics for a bold, groovy East-meets-West musical fusion.

Red Baraat has become a popular performer for top public-radio world-music web series Live on KEXP and Tiny Desk Concert. The band also has performed at events nationwide, including Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, and Three Rivers Arts Festival.

Local musician Ady Martinez Dancy Party and Penn State dance ensembles Caliente Dance Company and Sher Bhangra also will perform.
