I’m half Native American and grew up on a reservation, so during my early teen years I took up grass dancing. Seeing the segment with Iron Boy breaking down northern style drum gave me pleasant flashbacks to my days of grass dancing competitively in powwows across the US. A little representation goes a long way, so this video is an absolutely wonderful thing to see. Keep up the good work, Sound Field, on shining a light to music most people might not know about, it really is important. Mvto! (“Thank you!” in Muskogee)
I can't think of a more valuable thing to do than showcasing the technical process as well as the stories and meaning behind the music that artists make. True artistry being recognized and analyzed, I love it, great job.
Another delightful Canadian Indeginous project is Yamantaka // Sonic Titan which blends Metal and Indeginous-style vocals. I highly recommend their song "One" or, if you're feeling more experimental "A Star Over Pureland".
This is really cool! I love how you show so many different musical movements otherwise overlooked! I also love the community aspect of the music making in this culture.
The Tribe Called Red used to play on the same night as us ("Trackstars Dj Crew", Dan Field, Aga ) at Murcury Lounge in Ottawa.....they had there own scene going just like us and any real underground crew. They were legit and warm as well...
It's crazy how captivating the Iron Boys drumming is. I am from West Africa and I love drums. It's crazy how it is present in all cultures around the world. While I was listening to the drum circle, I couldn't help myself from imagining a tribe preping for war. I guess it's because of how native americans have been portrait in western movies. Then I was shocked that they sing about how beautiful it is to watch a lady's long braids flying while she dances. As a whole I loved this segment. Very cool and informative.
I'm glad someone is keeping native music alive, even if it's a different tribe. Wish the Cherokee tribe had something like these guys. Canada's natives have gone through (and continue to go through) immense hardships. I'm glad they're keeping themselves alive.
I’m AA and grew up going to powwows with friends and family in Minnesota. This brought back a lot of amazing memories. Glad to see people keeping their traditions alive and expounding on them.
Legit had gooesbumps this entire episode and tears in my eyes. This was the most beautiful and heart touching episode y'all have done. It's been so worth the wait to finally see it out. Thank you so much, I know I'll be sharing this with a ton of people, and I hope many more get to see this! I'd love for y'all to do future videos on music created by and for other marginalized groups and musicians. But no matter what comes out next, I know I can't wait to see it and will already love it
You guys should do a thing on "Industrial Music". Look at bands like Einsturzende Neubouten, Throbbing Gristle, 80's Skinny Puppy, etc... The industrial music scene back in the 80's had some amazing stuff that influenced a lot of music that we have today.
I wasn't sure if I wanted to watch this, not having any idea who a tribe called red or what pow wow is, we don't have much exposure in England, but I'm so glad I did, what a wonderful emotional video, what powerful music, I'm definitely finding them on Spotify now! Thank you for making this!
Alabama Coushatta here - TOTALLY just had this idea just a few months ago when I finally got back on a DAW with a midi keyboard for the first time in years after not producing or DJing for so long! LOVE this! Maybe I can make my own flavor soon
Awesome! I first heard about A Tribe Called Red when I did a video about Native American hiphop artists for my American Indian studies class. You'd be surprised by how many Native people are major contributors to hiphop!
Another great video. You researched the music and where it was going in a way that respected a people who have gotten little respect in the past. My family hid their connection to the native people because they managed to drop out of the trail of tears. They stayed in a remote area and lived off the land for a long time. Those of us who came after they left the hiding place found out about it in the last ten years.
Awesome! Never heard of them before but I excited to have some new interesting music to look into. So much passion and knowledge goes into their music.
I'm a big proponent of reintroducing indigenous and folk influences back into modern music. Indigenous drumming sounds pretty good with hip-hop boom-bap drums and cumbia drums.
Tribe called Red are so groundbreaking and fresh whilst honouring history and indigenous culture. Clearly also so humble and hold the respect of the culture. I was introduced to the poet Saul Williams thru The Virus (which was prescient to COVID). Love Nahre too, and pleased to see her presentation and musical intrigue meet this platform! Keep it all up!
Breaking free from suppression,priceless.Freedom of religion,universal law.We are all apart of your movement now,thank you for helping me feel pride for being Ojibway!!
I'm so glad to see you guys doing an episode on A Tribe Called Red, this is so cool. I'm not First Nations myself, but I've always had a lot of respect for all native peoples; so many unique, amazing, and fascinating cultures. And man, do I ever get chills down my spine whenever the group chorus starts singing in those drum circles. Gets me every time!
This was incredible and so eye-opening! Thank you for this exploration into the cultural significance of the source material and samples, the music A Tribe Called Red are creating with it, and some of the tech and process involved. Looking forward to more videos like this. Great content, digestible presentation, strong choice of details.
Beautiful!! Love puppy love..and your electronic page with effects to head dress is fantastic!!!!! Great creation guys.Would be wonderful to teach native youth about creative music..
This was good, being from Europe I learn a lot from your content. I like when music from all ages and cultures comes together and express the world of today. That creates value and depth for me as a listener. And I learn.....
Has anybody seen Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked the World? It's been a while, but it's basically about how the culture and music of enslaved Africans and indigenous people of North America fused together over time to create Rock n' Roll, as well as many other aspects of 'American' culture. I highly recommend watching it.
I love Link Wray, I even think he’s the true king of rock’n’roll. By the way, don’t forget the Irish influence and contribution to rock’n’roll too. That’s massive.
What an extraordinary show! Absolutely love the coverage of both the music and what it represents four the community surrounding it and producing it. Can't wait to go through the rest of the videos on this channel after this.
Love these mini-documentary style videos showcasing different artists, instruments and movements. All fascinating stuff, you maybe otherwise wouldn't know was out there.
Kukwstumkalap! I Thank you folks for making this awesome video! Now that natives are getting a spot light these days, i hope that lots of good comes of it.

sorry, but your the first person ive ever actually encountered called collin, no offense but who names there kid collin
I can't think of a more valuable thing to do than showcasing the technical process as well as the stories and meaning behind the music that artists make. True artistry being recognized and analyzed, I love it, great job.
I learnt a lot, not just about music but also the vibrant culture of Native Canadians.
Another delightful Canadian Indeginous project is Yamantaka // Sonic Titan which blends Metal and Indeginous-style vocals. I highly recommend their song "One" or, if you're feeling more experimental "A Star Over Pureland".
Good recommendation!

you do it then ; )
Oh se oh.
Thank you so much for doing this! As a Native musician, this is the side of our culture that doesn't get much publicity. Aho!

I love this way of keeping traditions alive by letting them adapt to fit new environments. Plus, the music, drum-based music, is so compelling!
So I wasn't so hyped when you two told us that a video of A Tribe Called Red is in the works but when I watched this....
...I was simply mindblown!
I love how he said "We indigenizing the space we in"
A Tribe Called Red is totally rad! Glad to see them expressing indigenous culture in Canada!
Im not even native and this makes me so thrilled. Theyre providing the cultural experience that has been missing for so long. You go, you funky dudes!
My mom would have just started high school when that religious freedom bill passed. That is well within living memory. I had no idea it was so recent.
Discovered these dudes some years back... Dope to get some context on how they developed their image and sound around their indigenous culture. 👍🏾
me too, back when Much Music played music videos and their first big single "Sisters" would air... I was immediately hooked!

Being full blood native and seeing indigenous Canadians get recognition on one of my favourite channels is magical
I wasn't sure if I wanted to watch this, not having any idea who a tribe called red or what pow wow is, we don't have much exposure in England, but I'm so glad I did, what a wonderful emotional video, what powerful music, I'm definitely finding them on Spotify now! Thank you for making this!
So glad to see A Tribe Called Red getting recognized. These gents truly deserve it along with DJ Shub. Love the heck out of Shake Ya Bustle.
DJ Shub hometown pride
Alabama Coushatta here - TOTALLY just had this idea just a few months ago when I finally got back on a DAW with a midi keyboard for the first time in years after not producing or DJing for so long! LOVE this! Maybe I can make my own flavor soon
glad i finally heard of these guys, they go by Halluci Nation now on all streaming and on social media if anyone else (like me) is late to the party
Awesome! I first heard about A Tribe Called Red when I did a video about Native American hiphop artists for my American Indian studies class. You'd be surprised by how many Native people are major contributors to hiphop!
This music is P O W E R F U L

I'm constantly being floored by what you guys expose me to. This is amazing!
This is just simply beautiful and inspirational!!
Awesome! Never heard of them before but I excited to have some new interesting music to look into. So much passion and knowledge goes into their music.
So happy to see A Tribe Called Red given the spotlight here!
I'm a big proponent of reintroducing indigenous and folk influences back into modern music. Indigenous drumming sounds pretty good with hip-hop boom-bap drums and cumbia drums.
I heard of them a few years ago. I’m glad they’re still going!
Beautiful video! I love how Sound Field is making a platform to learn about and center different communities through music!
Sleeping on this all quarantine? Dang!
I LOVE Tribe Called Red
Tribe called Red are so groundbreaking and fresh whilst honouring history and indigenous culture. Clearly also so humble and hold the respect of the culture. I was introduced to the poet Saul Williams thru The Virus (which was prescient to COVID). Love Nahre too, and pleased to see her presentation and musical intrigue meet this platform! Keep it all up!
I'm shocked at how little views this video has gotten, it's such a good episode!
Wonderful, once again.
Drums moves me like no other instrument do. Gets my heart racing 🐎 This is awesome!
10:57 vibing to that drum beat realize it was moombaton drum loop
Love A Tribe Called Red! So happy Sound Field did a episode on them.
Breaking free from suppression,priceless.Freedom of religion,universal law.We are all apart of your movement now,thank you for helping me feel pride for being Ojibway!!
Y'all.
Normally I go on and on. Not this time. One word.
FANTASTIC!
Can't hear a drum circle with out dancing.
Love Pow Wows and mosh pits.
\m/
It is so amazing to see content promoting our continent's Native heritage and future. Thank you for this! :)
Holy cow that drum circle at 5:20 got me SO hyped I wanna go the gym or charge into battle WOO!!!
I LOVE these guys. Stadium Pow Wow always makes my hair stand on end. Oh snap, they use Reason Studios!
Brooo this is awesome 🤩 Love it as someone that comes from the Caribbean it’s great to see people embracing their traditions
Luv to see da representation n even da fusion in one clip wit Regueton!

Nahre discovering new art expressions are the best :) Very interesting videos guys

Cool im check it out
That documentary was well made and worth a watch.
I love Link Wray, I even think he’s the true king of rock’n’roll. By the way, don’t forget the Irish influence and contribution to rock’n’roll too. That’s massive.
These guys make such incredible music, and they seem so humble and down to earth.
Sounds good.
Thank you Sound Field. While watching I daydreamed about the Trail of Tears meeting NoDAPL via song.
Never heard of this stuff before....holy sheesus this is awesome!
I knew I heard of them before but couldn't remember the name (was hella lit). Yay thanks for the reminder 😎
Sheesh this is beautiful. I wish I could send these guys a sample of my drone spirit flute. These guys are 👏 👌 fiiiiiire.
So happy that you guys found and highlighted this awesome culture and music. Keep up the amazing work guys!
not sure if its the drums, the chants, or the combination of both but it definitely gives me the feels
Damn, ATCR goes _sooooo hard_
I love this. I wish Indigenous Peoples here in the Philippines also make music like this. There's so many different tribes and musical traditions!
Pinoy pride !
Agree ako dyan pre! Hahaha
Went straight to Spotify and found your music. THANKS!
Been following these guys since the water rights protests... good to see them still getting attention. Check out their song called Black Snakes.
This is amazing. Thank you!
wow this is honestly so cool
Yessss much Respect Tribe Called Red and Indigenous people! I see that El Dusty’s Locos Only T shirt!! Texas represent
What an extraordinary show! Absolutely love the coverage of both the music and what it represents four the community surrounding it and producing it. Can't wait to go through the rest of the videos on this channel after this.
Love these mini-documentary style videos showcasing different artists, instruments and movements.

This is incredibly powerful stuff
I learned a lot here, and I really FELT something, too. Thank you for this.
Awesome job guys. 🖤💛🤍💙🇨🇱
I really like this sound! One of my favorite episodes so far.

and also Tonto reminded me of Tardis
great to see that they use reason!
great work!!
nice
I love this kind of thing.
Present more of this underground and unknown music to people. Less Beyonce and more this please!

Kukwstumkalap! I Thank you folks for making this awesome video!
Now that natives are getting a spot light these days, i hope that lots of good comes of it.
Thank you. I truly appreciate your work. You are true educators.
"Indigenous on our own terms" This is thumpin' badass and sacred. Drums will drive the revolution.
"The Cabin."
"The Cabin?" o.o
This is pretty amazing. This feels Moombahton like but, also different. Definitely need to explore this more. (Moombahton is a genre of music)
Wonderful and inspiring. This is one of your best!
❤❤❤ Amazing!
You should read Melissa Parkhurst’s books, I took a Native American music course with her at WSU. excellent professor, excellent writer too
This is awesome. Thanks for sharing this.
I would be honored to collab with these dudes. Especially if I got to work with those synths. Lol
beautiful Pounamu carving around his neck, I wonder if hes been to nz or has a connection with nz musicians .
