Supaman at Brookfield Place
Tickets: Free. Show at 7 pm. 

The Native American rapper, dancer, and musician who goes by the name Supaman combines the sounds of contemporary American music with traditional prayers and chants. His given name is actually Christian Parrish Takes The Gun, and he is from the Apsaalooke Nation in Montana. In live performance, he uses loops and samples, over which he raps in a style designed to encourage positivity, acceptance, and action. Supaman performs in a free show tonight at Brookfield Place underneath the First Nations art installation called Tepkik. 
This song, whose video has been viewed two million times, is called "Why."
