First Timers of Brooklyn Baithak at Happy Monday Studios

We create an intimate space for raga-based music and dance rooted in the South Asian diaspora. It’s all about listening, showing up for each other, and giving emerging artists a chance to grow in front of a live, engaged audience.

This September, we’re doing something special: a Baithak dedicated entirely to first-time performers — fresh off the mic and onto the Baithak stage.

Join us on Saturday, September 12th as we welcome artists performing with Brooklyn Baithak for the very first time. This night is all about celebrating new faces, new voices, and the excitement of stepping onto the Baithak stage for the first time.

Think intimate mehfil vibes: music, shared space, and really taking the time to listen. We’ll be set up in a cozy studio with rugs on the floor (baithak-style), plus some chairs and a bit of standing room. Come comfy, come curious, and hang with us for the evening. Expect around 8 raga-inspired performances from local artists, and a night to just be present and listen.

We’re excited to welcome back Hot Chai Lady! They’ll be serving up delicious chai and snacks to enjoy with the music. ☕💛
