International First People Festival | DJ Shub’s PowWowStep Is Back in MTL

Interview by Alain Brunet
Genres and styles : First Nations / Indigenous peoples / PowWowStep

Additional Information

Winner of the 2022 JUNO Award for Contemporary Aboriginal Artist of the Year, Dan “DJ Shub” Genera is a very special creature: a title-holding DJ/producer, a tireless worker who harmonizes tradition, transgression, innovation and commitment. As one of the founding members of the now-defunct A Tribe Called Red brotherhood, Shub is the epitome of PowWowStep, a label that encapsulates the meeting of past, present and future of Aboriginal music. War Club is his most recent contribution: “a special show filmed on the Six Nations of the Grand River Reserve, featuring Shub’s fiery scratch-a-thons, a troupe of traditional dancers for all ages and plenty of bustling bustles”. Phoenix Pagliacci, Boogát and Fawn Wood will take part in this celebration, scheduled for Friday August 9, 8.30pm. Alain Brunet talked it over with DJ Shub, reached at his home in Fort Erie, Ontario, before heading to MTL.
