March 14, ’Q’emcín (aka Lytton BC): ’Q’emcín 2 Rivers Remix is excited to announce that the 2018 inaugural 2-day feast will showcase more than 18 original Indigenous musical artists including headliner ISKWÉ, the incredibly soulful 2018 Juno-nominated Cree Trip-Hop Artist based in Hamilton, Ontario. ISKWÉ also won the 2017 West Coast Music Award for Electronic/Dance Artist of the Year and was named one of the ‘Top 10 Artists to Watch’ by CBC Music.

’Q’emcín 2 Rivers Remix (2RMX) is a FREE 2-day outdoor feast of contemporary Indigenous music and culture hosted by the Nlaka’pamux nation and the Village of Lytton on May 18-19, 2018. Also appearing at 2RMX is special guest TA’KAIYA BLANEY, the 16 year-old Tla’Amin Singer/Songwriter/Activist who won Best Music Video at the 2017 American Indian Film Festival. The full line-up of Indigenous artists performing at 2RMX will be announced soon.

According to Artistic Director Meeka Morgan (Secwepemc/Nuu-Chah-Nulth/St’atlimc/Nlaka’pamux heritage), 2RMX focuses on exciting new Indigenous artists that empower youth and women. “We have Indigenous performances from almost any musical genre from hip-hop to folk, metal to blues, rock to electronic – and more than half the lead performers are women while one-third are youth (under 25).”

Surrounded by stunning canyon vistas, 2 Rivers Remix will feature outdoor live performance stages with music, spoken word, and dance, as well as video screenings, interactive music workshops, a large- scale outdoor Indigenous collaborative art exhibition, and an Indigenous Artisan street market. 2RMX will engage new audiences with a danceable remix of urban/rez, visual/musical, hip-hop/pow-wow, and personal/political.
