Composer stripped for Native American tribe (4)
I believe the answer is:
hopi
'native american tribe' is the definition.
(Native American ethnic group)
'composer stripped' is the wordplay.
'composer' becomes 'chopin' (Frederic Chopin).
'stripped' means to look at the middle letters (outside letters removed).
The centre of 'chopin' is 'HOPI'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for hopi that I've seen before include "North American Indian people" , "Language" , "Member of a Pueblo Indian people of northeastern Arizona" , "Arizonan Pueblo Indian" , "Pueblo tribe member" .)
