Canadian DJ collective A Tribe Called Red is making an impact on the global electronic scene with a truly unique sound. Producing a lively mixture of modern hip-hop, traditional pow-wow drums and vocals, and edgy electronica, the group also operates as a champion of First Nations rights. Their upbeat and fast-tempo sound will get your pulse racing and your mind moving around their message of inclusivity, empathy and acceptance amongst all races and genders in the name of social justice.
