Rajasthan Heritage Brass Band Performance Highlights

Experience the spectacular brass band performance

Rajasthan, the royal heartland of India, sparkles in the Thar Desert—where centuries of culture, tradition, and living heritage resound through music and celebration.

The Rajasthan Heritage Brass Band embodies the true essence of Rajasthan - a dazzling celebration of sound, colour, and movement. Their performances are not just heard, but felt—radiating energy, joy, and living heritage

Dressed in richly adorned traditional attire, their eclectic repertoire spans Rajasthani folk melodies, soulful qawwalis, Bollywood favourites, high-energy Bhangra rhythms, popular pop songs and sci-fi "intergalactic" funk creating a dynamic sound that captivates audiences of all ages.

The core of the ensemble is formed by highly skilled musicians from Jaipur – Rajasthan's renowned Pink City and neighbouring villages. Performing on trumpet, trombone, euphonium, complemented by clarinet and an energetic backdrop of side drum and bass drum. Each performance is enriched with dynamic choreography, musicians double as vocalists, often engaging the audience in call-and-response refrains.

Since 2015, their extensive international touring has firmly established them as the leading brass band for every occasion — from world music festivals and vibrant melas to weddings, parades, and exclusive events across the UK and Europe — spreading pure joy and celebration wherever they perform.

Performance Notes

Important The Rajasthan Heritage Brass Band performs an energetic set involving much dancing while playing their instruments. The musicians also double as vocalists engaging the audience in call-and-response refrains from traditional Rajasthan folk songs and Bollywood classics.

For this reason we prefer the band to perform with dedicated wireless clip-on microphones and separate vocal mics on stands for each player. If wireless clip microphones are not available and the band is required to perform a more static stage show, a standard set of cabled SM57 and SM58s will suffice.
