A Tribe Called Red - unknown

A Tribe Called Red (feat. Lillian Allen with Ariel Gold) - Woken and Unbroken

The full four nights of this year's X Avant Festival were curated by A Tribe Called Red's Bear Witness, expanding on the concept of "The Halluci Nation". No surprise, then, that the festival's closing night (with sets from collaborators new and old) ended with all of the performers taking part in a (not so) secret headlining set from ATCR's Halluci Nation Band, mapping journeys taken as well as brand new extensions.

Closing out the night, ATCR took the stage, taking what is probably a rare opportunity to have so many of their extended musical family gathered in one place. Jennifer Kreisberg and Narcy (who had already performed their own sets earlier) were joined by Lido Pimienta to revisit their Halluci Nation collabs. Meanwhile, a glimpse of things to come came from the first track here (sampling MP Romeo Saganash's recent comments to the Prime Minister) as well as a new reggae-flavoured jam from dub poet laureate Lillian Allen.

* Does anyone know the title to this one? Please leave a comment!
