Red Baraat at Barbès Brooklyn

red-baraat

You can’t visit New York without catching some live music, and you can’t catch live music like this anywhere but New York.

Cram an Indian marching band, a jazz ensemble, a funk band and 100 audience members (of every race and creed) into a 200 sq. ft. room.

That is Red Baraat at Barbès in Brooklyn.

Thanks Paul for encouraging me to attend.

It is Brooklyn

This picture could have been taken anywhere.

Catching a bit of air conditioning and cold beverages on a hot August day in anytown U.S.A.

But it isn’t anywhere.

It’s Brooklyn.

Diversity everywhere.

Flea markets (with tall guys that refurbish bikes and small guys that hand-print t-shirts).

Sushi.

Life-changing corn and rainwater toilets.

It’s Brooklyn.

More pics on my portfolio blog.
