Their most recent album is <em>We Are The Halluci Nation<\/em>. The title track, \u201cWe are the Halluci Nation\u201d is very powerful because it speaks about the treatment of First Nations people. \u201cR.E.D.\u201d is a fusion of drumming, Rap, chants, and Dubstep. It\u2019s very innovative and original. \u201cThe Virus\u201d is about colonization and the negative effects that stemmed from it. \u201cBefore\u201d and \u201cSoon\u201d are audio bits about a person named Charlie and how he ran away from a residential school. It also touches on police brutality towards First Nations people and the topic of missing First Nations women. \u201cSila\u201d sounds like a mixture of Soca and Dubstep. \u201cThe Light\u201d is a very interesting track because the lyrics are in Spanish while the instrumental is a combination of Raqs Sharqi music, Soca and Reggaeton. \u201cEanan\u201d is a song that literally sounds like hope. There\u2019s just something about the way it sounds that holds a promise of things getting better in the near future. I thoroughly enjoyed this album and feel that A Tribe Called Red has not only stuck to their original sound but they have also branched out in a positive way. <em>We Are The Halluci Nation<\/em> is great for any electronic music lover who\u2019s looking for a fresh change from the stuff that\u2019s played on the mainstream radio.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: M.I.A., Ulali, Solange, FKA Twigs, Beyonc\u00e9, Hayley Kiyoko, Lupe Fiasco, Walela, Haifa Wehbe<br \/>\nRecommended Tracks: 7 (Maima Koopi), 6 (The Light), 9 (Eanan), 10 (The Muse), 1 (We are the Halluci Nation), 2 (R.E.D.)<br \/>\nDo Not Play: None<br \/>\nWritten by Tabitha Moore on 10\/09\/2016 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Tribe Called Red is a Canadian First Nations electro-group who incorporate powwow music into their mixes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15734,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[182],"tags":[5748,2503,5750,5749,5229],"class_list":["post-50821","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hip-hopelectronic-rotation","tag-a-tribe-called-red","tag-electronic","tag-first-nations","tag-ontario","tag-tabitha-moore"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50821","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15734"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50821"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50821\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50821"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50821"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50821"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
