Cartel Madras tickets

Cartel Madras is a Canadian trap music duo composed of South Asians, Bhagya and Contra. Hailing from Edmonton, Alberta, the duo spread their message of unity in the face of racism with their dynamic, bass-heavy sounds. In 2018, they signed with Sub Pop Records to release their debut EP Chain Smoking. The EP told the story of their journeys as diaspora Indians, with tracks that sampled Indian Bollywood classics. Their 2020 debut full-length album, Age of the Goonda, continues to explore their cultural identity and socio-political issues. It features the song "Goonda Gold", which has been streamed more than a million times. The pair have been recognized for their boundary-pushing sound, including an Indigenous Music Award for Best Hip Hop Album by Indigenous Artists.
