Announcing the project, undertaken in partnership with Lok Virsa, the High Commissioner of Canada to Pakistan, Perry Calderwood said "A Tribe Called Red represents both rich musical history that pre-dates the founding of Canada and our culture at its most modern. The High Commission is delighted ATCR will bring to Islamabad its messages of inclusion and pride in First Nations culture and empowerment - priorities within Canada and for Canada around the world."Tickets for the September 7th concert will be available at Lok Virsa from August 17 as well as at the door the night of the concert.
