Pow Wow in the Club: A New Spin on First Nations Music

Pow Wow in the Club: A New Spin on First Nations Music

It's so great to see A Tribe Called Red getting some mainstream media love!

Great Big Story, an independent subsidiary of CNN, has been making some great videos lately, focusing on “untold, overlooked, and flat-out amazing” stories around the world. It's no wonder they've come along to cover A Tribe Called Red and the Pow Wow Step scene, a genre that most people into mainstream radio haven't even had the chance to listen to yet.

“What do you get when you combine club music with the traditional sounds, rhythm and soul of an indigenous pow wow? Enter: A Tribe Called Red. This First Nations band is an Ottawa-based trio that is bringing music that originated on the North American plains to a whole new audience. With their unique fusion of beats, DJ NDN, 2oolman and Bear Witness have created a gathering place for all music fans while showing pride in their heritage.”
