Move Mix Festival
featuring Red Baraat
with performances by Ady Martínez Latin Dance Party and Caliente Dance Company

ALERT: We are moving today’s Move Mix Festival indoors

Due to the possibility of inclement weather, and because we take care of the performers and their instruments, we’ve made the difficult decision to move the free event indoors to the Eisenhower Auditorium stage.

In addition, due to reasons beyond the ensemble’s control, Penn State dance ensemble Sher Bhangra must withdraw from the event.

What else should you know?

• Attendees should enter at the front of the building. 
• The event is general admission.
• The orchestra will be converted to a dance space.
• Rolling Lion Food Truck will be parked in front of Eisenhower.
• Lawn chairs and pets will not be permitted in the auditorium.

Red Baraat

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.

New York musician Sunny Jain founded Red Baraat in 2008 and took his musical cues from listening to hip-hop mixtapes while growing up in a Punjabi household. The versatile percussion virtuoso has worked with a variety of artists, including Peter Gabriel, Norah Jones, Rudresh Mahanthappa, and David Byrne.

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.

Ady Martínez

Originally from Venezuela, the State College-based entrepreneur is a singer-songwriter and cuatro player. With a local band of musicians, she also is a performer of Latin folk and dance classics (nueva canción, guajira, salsa, etc.).

Caliente Dance Company

Penn State’s Latinx student dance team practices traditional and native dances with a focus on beats and rhythms from diverse areas of Latin America—including the Caribbean and South and Central America.
