A Tribe Called Red That the global bass music diaspora would eventually visit the music of American Indians is no surprise. That it has happened with such ferocity and compatibility in the music of A Tribe Called Red is welcome. This Canadian trio - Bear Witness, Dee Jay NDN and DJ Shub - specializes in a simple but effective hybrid of the more urgent end of electronic music with pow wow music, the traditional drumming and singing of various American Indian tribes. The hypnotic qualities of both make a slick pair. The group's new EP, "Trapline," like its self-titled debut album from 2012, is infectious, and available free on its SoundCloud page. The new songs are a bit more polished, lightly de-emphasizing the traditional source material in favor of more digital thump, as on "Unlimited Trap" or "No One Out Can Compete," which molds its hook from a KRS-One sample. The group also uses its music to advocate for indigenous peoples' rights, and occasionally repurposes samples from discriminatory film portrayals. It plays Jan. 13 at Webster Hall as part of GlobalFest. 01/06/13 >> go there
