Got plans for Saturday, September 23rd? Join Apt613 in attending a one-night-only live concert at the National Arts Centre (NAC) for Papakanje, a #ReconcileThis concert.
#ReconcileThis is an online initiative celebrating and amplifying Indigenous voices through digital performances, sharing stories, perspectives, cultures, and languages.
This September 23rd event, spanning 90 minutes with an intermission, promises electrifying performances of beats, rhymes, and raw perspectives by Indigenous artists such as Cody Coyote, DJ PØPTRT, and Tamara Podemski.
Cody Coyote, a well-known name in the Ottawa-Gatineau area, brings his Ojibwe & Irish heritage into his award-winning work, fusing profound lyricism with hip-hop, electronic, and pop genres. In 2023, Coyote clinched the title of Ottawa’s Best Hip-Hop Artist at the 2023 Ottawa Awards.
