A TRIBE CALLED RED US TOUR

Can you believe it’s been almost two years since we first caught onto A Tribe Called Red? We had no idea our love for them would go deeper and deeper as in that time we have witnessed physically and virtually ATCR conquer Canada from the East to the West. Selling out shows and making significant social change it’s just been phenomenal to witness the rise of such a fresh sound crew. The response has been amazing and we cannot be any happier for them. I literally remember the first day I heard A Tribe Called Red, chills sweet sweet chills ran down my back and then of course the first Electric Pow Wow night I attended confirmed things for me. These guys are the real deal. Over the last month or so ATCR have had dates everywhere in Canada but now guess what? The boys are conquering the USA and we’re so sure they will light things ablaze at SXSW in Austin. Look out for them as they have a span of dates all across the country. If you’re still yet to really understand what A Tribe Called represent here’s some info for you:

Pre-hispanic Trap?

En parlant de A Tribe Called Red, voilà un remix du prolifique Javier Estrada de Monterrey qui revisite le brulot d’ATCR en version hybride de trap et Cumbia Tribal. Le tout alterne entre hi-hat frénétiques et rythme d’inspiration pré-hispanique. A télécharger ici

Album gratuit de A Tribe Called Red

Pour ceux qui ont vécus sous un rocher ces derniers mois, comme on dit dans la langue de Shakespeare, il serait sans doute temps de découvrir A Tribe Called Red. Ce collectif d’Ottawa est en train de donner un visage super positif à la communauté des Autochtones vivant dans les villes et aussi de proposer une musique vraiment excitante. Ils donnent leur premier album ci-dessous en échange de votre adresse email.

Moombah Hip Moombah Hop

A Tribe Called Red are maintaining momentum after their Canada wide tour this past month. Their latest release Moombah Hip Moombah Hop is an uptempo Moombahton mix of  A Tribe Called Red edits of  classics such as Eric B and Rakim’s “Don’t Sweat The Technique”, “Faking The Funk” by Main Source and The Champs’s “Tequila”.  Notable is the Congo Rock vs Public Enemy duel, pretty sure it’s only a matter of a time before it hits a dance floor near you.

Scalp them!

NDNs From All Directions from Bear Witness on Vimeo.

A Tribe Called Red vient de poster une nouvelle vidéo toujours aussi inventive et intéressante à la fois sur le plan de l’image et du son. Intitulée NDN’s in all directions, La chanson est un remix dancehall-Moombahton du classique Scalp Them par Super Cat alors que la vidéo reprend à la fois des images de PowWow des plaines et des images de danseurs anglais des années 60s. Parles-moi de profondeurs de couches symboliques…

Dernier mot par Dj NDN:”My favorite thing about the video is that fact that the dancers from Thunderheart and A Tribe Called Red are the only real native aspects of the video. The rest of the video is people singing, talking or dancing to something that is about natives when they aren’t Aboriginal at all.“
