The electronic powwow comes to TD Music Hall! Indigenous Grooves is an electronic dance party, concert, dance performance and Indigenous marketplace, all rolled into one fabulous evening of festivities.

The series’ all Indigenous curatorial team has scheduled a thrilling lineup of 13 Indigenous women and non-binary artists from across the continent. Performers include DJ Kookum (of Snotty Nose Rez Kids, Vancouver), 2022 Juno Award-winner Fawn Wood (Alberta, Traditional Indigenous Singer), Tik Tok phenomenon Tia Wood (Los Angeles, Indigenous Contemporary Singer-Songwriter, R&B), Natasha Fisher (Tkaronto, Indigenous Pop Singer-Songwriter), ROSINA (Tkaronto, Electronic Artist), the Juno-nominated Manitou Makwa Singers (Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, Traditional Indigenous Singers), DeeJay Jams (Prince Edward County, DJ and Visual Artist), Semiah Smith (Tkaronto, Alternative Electropop Artist), and DJ Kimiwan (Tkaronto).

This eclectic mix of electronic and acoustic musical performers will be accompanied on the dance floor by four celebrated Tkaronto Indigenous dancers: Cotee Harper (Fancy Shawl/Collaborative Dance Artist), Deanne Hupfield (Fancy Shawl), Christina Wajashk-Retoule (Jingle Dress), and Cedar Smoke (Jingle Dress).

Curated by Indigenous performing artists Tamar Ilana, Cotee Harper and Rosary Spence, the series is the first of its kind on Turtle Island, and features a lineup of all-Indigenous, all-women and non-binary DJs, electronic music artists, traditional singers and dancers, and vendors. It’s a party, a show, a market, but above all else, a celebration. Indigenous Grooves celebrates the creativity of Indigenous women and non-binary artists with a night of festivities that pushes the boundaries of tradition and welcomes Indigenous and non-Indigenous alike to celebrate together and dance the night away.
