Abstract
"Welcome to the Tribe" is a 30-minute film that documents the Memphis native band Agori Tribe. The group of five college-aged musicians describe their early days as a "nameless jam sesh," but around 2010 a legitimate band began to form as they gained recognition for their unique "Space Island Funk Rock" sound. During the summer of 2013 I joined The Tribe on their first-ever tour, leaving Memphis behind for shows in Athens, GA and Knoxville, TN. Capturing youth culture in the Memphis music scene, this film chronicles Agori Tribe on a passion-driven journey to spread their original sound and positive energy as far as possible.
