A Tribe Called Red is a Canadian electronic music group that has made a name for itself in the music industry with its unique blend of traditional indigenous music and modern electronic beats. The group was formed in 2008 by DJ NDN, Bear Witness, and 2oolman, and since then, they have released four albums that showcase their innovative style and have won numerous awards and accolades.
What sets A Tribe Called Red apart from other electronic music groups is their incorporation of traditional indigenous sounds and rhythms into their music. They use samples from powwow drums, chanting, and other indigenous instruments to create a sound that is both modern and rooted in tradition. This fusion of old and new has been praised by fans and critics alike and has helped to bring indigenous music to a wider audience.
In addition to their music, A Tribe Called Red is also known for its activism and advocacy for indigenous rights. Their music often addresses issues such as cultural appropriation, residential schools, and missing and murdered indigenous women. They have used their platform to raise awareness about these issues and to promote indigenous culture and heritage.
