Ever Seen a Beatles Baraat?

ACHINTA’S BEATLES BARAAT

Blue13’s Achinta  created some pretty unique and incredible concepts in June for her brother’s big wedding in Greenwich, Connecticut!  Never one to be part of the status quo, McDaniel created a Beatles song Baraat (the groom’s traditional procession filled with dancing family and friends en route to the wedding), with choreographed moves, live drumming and a stilt walker.  Even The Huffington Post India picked up on the excitement.  Video by Vinnie Chhabra.  Music: Love me Do, The Beatles.  Dhol: Sonny Brooklynwala.
