Boston, MA, May 25, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– The South Asian Association of Bedford hosted their annual Holi Celebration on May 7th, 2023, and it was a joyous and colorful affair. Attendees were treated to a spectacle of color and delight, with live music, dance, and delicious food.
One of the highlights of the event was the performance by Kadak Chai, a Boston-based band that specializes in blending traditional Indian music with modern rock and pop influences. The band’s high-energy performance had the 300+ strong crowd dancing and cheering, and they were praised by attendees for their lively and outstanding performance. Kadak Chai’s power packed performance included the 70’s hippie chillum anthem “Dum Maro Dum,” a rock version of the mafioso anti-establishment hit “Dhan Te Nan,” and a Tamil-Hindi mashup of the iconic A. R. Rahman’s “Hamma Hamma.”
After Kadak Chai’s performance, DJPraveen spun popular tracks to keep the crowd dancing, including the rollicking hit “Naatu Naatu” from the Indian blockbuster “RRR,” which recently won the Oscar for best original song.
