Description 
Music | NATION BEAT, RED BARAAT At the heart of Nation Beat's new album, Legends of the Preacher, lies a totally original 21st-century fusion between thunderous Brazilian maracatu drumming and New Orleans second line rhythms, Appalachian-inspired bluegrass music, funk, rock, and country-blues. Their explosive live show -- which is frequently known to burst into crowd-wide Carnaval-style drumming and singing -- is attracting music fans of bluegrass, country and Brazilian music, and outdoor festival-goers. They play with Red Baraat, the first and only dhol ”˜n’ brass band of its kind in the States, melding the infectious North Indian rhythm Bhangra with brass funk and expressing the human spirit through improvisation and a powerful live sound.
