Overview

Consecrate your most important day with brass music from Eastern Europe. By turns, passionate and playful, solemn and magnificent, this music exists for bold proclamations. And there is no better group to call it out for the world to hear than New York City’s own Raya Brass Band.

Our years of experience performing for weddings and other celebrations have sharpened our instinct for just the right moment to sound the fanfare or spark the party. With our portable instrumentation of sax, trumpet, accordion, percussion and tuba, we can bring the music anywhere: as escort for processional/recessional/public parade; a serenade for the wedding couple; or energizing the dance floor.

About

Since 2008 Raya Brass Band has thrilled audiences with its energetic brand of soul shaking, border defying dance music. Given the way these five musicians electrify clubs, festivals, underground parties, and even subway cars with their riotous performances, it’s no wonder that they’re often mistaken for a band twice the size. The members of the band all bring their unique voices to the group, creating a sound informed as much by their love for the fierce and seductive music of the Balkans as it is by New Orleans brass bands, punk rock, out jazz, and a host of other international sounds. When they put it all together, this hard working band gets straight to the point, dancing, sweating, and shouting alongside its audience.
