Watch A Tribe Called Red breakdown the evolution of their song Electric Pow Wow Drum' describing how the different samples came together to build the song. • SUBSCRIBE for new CBC MUSIC videos: http://bit.ly/cbcmusicYT • A Tribe Called Red started in 2008, when Ian DJ NDN Campeau and Bear Witness, two DJs based in Ottawa, threw a party to showcase other artists in their circle. It was the beginning of what they called Electric Pow Wow, a club night that would eventually launch their career, which includes this year's release of ATCR's critically acclaimed third album, We Are the Halluci Nation. • Campeau and Bear Witness began by making mash-ups of more traditionally based Indigenous music with beat-heavy samples, the first of which was a song called Brave Step. It mixed a grass dance song with a dubstep sample, and it was the birth of their sound. As the two tell it in our video below, it was a run and gun situation that was given a boost when they invited turntablist DJ Shub to play with them. Shub recorded two albums with the group, a self-titled debut and the Polaris-nominated Nation II Nation, before leaving, but he certainly made his mark. Since then, DJ Tim 2oolman Taylor joined the group for their most recent release, which is taking A Tribe Called Red to an all new level. • In honour of the group's self-titled debut landing on our list of best Canadian debut albums, we asked Campeau and Bear Witness to look back at the birth of their sound. • Check out CBC Music: http://www.cbcmusic.ca • Facebook: / cbcmusic • Twitter: / cbcmusic
