If you're in the Washington D.C. area you don't want to miss this free concert Friday, August 7, 2015! A Tribe Called Red is one of the many artists performing this summer during the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian's Indian Summer Showcase Concert series.
A Tribe Called Red from Ottawa has become the face of an urban Native youth renaissance, championing their heritage and speaking out on aboriginal issues, while being on top of popular music, fashion and art. Since 2010, the group – currently featuring DJ NDN, Bear Witness and 2oolman – has been mixing traditional pow wow vocals and drumming with cutting-edge electronic music.
The evening begins with a panel session and audience Q&A (7–8:30 PM EDT) in the Rasmuson Theater featuring all members of the group. An evening concert follows in the Potomac Atrium (8:30–10:30 PM EDT).
ADMISSION IS CONDUCTED ON A FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE BASIS.
