Song of the Day: February 20, 2018 - "The Unforgotten" by Iskwé feat. Tanya Tagaq

"The Unforgotten" is a powerful song by two of the most powerful artists in Canada right now, Iskwé and Tanya Tagaq

Iskwé says the song was "Written last year in the wake of the Canada 150 celebrations, I felt it was important to remind everyone that while celebrating the wonderful things that make Canada a beautiful and unique place to live, it's imperative that we remember, honour and acknowledge our dark corners as well.

I'm proud of who we are as Indigenous people. I'm proud of what we've fought for, and how we continue to fight for our culture, our languages, our children, our women, our men, our earth and our water. But I'm also proud of all my non-Indigenous family and friends who continue to fight alongside us. This song is for all of us. Let's dance together!"

Song of the Day: September 23, 2016 - "Beck + Call" by July Talk ft. Tanya Tagaq

Another new song (and video) from July Talk, this single featuring Tanya Tagaq and a driving drum beat that reminded me almost instantly of "Beautiful People" by Marilyn Mason (in a good way, I'd pay to hear July Talk cover that song).

They band's new album Touch is out now, and they are about to embark on a long tour starting in Germany, and then heading through the states and Canada. TWO shows are scheduled for Vancouver after the first sold out - so get your tickets for the November 23rd show with The Zolas.

Song of the Day: September 08, 2016 - "Centre" by Tanya Tagaq ft Shad

Finally have some new Tanya Tagaq on our hands, and the first single "Centre" from the upcoming album Retribution (Oct 21) features Shad.

Not only does the song have Shad rapping over Tagaq's distict throat singing, she also sings lyrics in the background of the song.

Check out the single below and keep an eye out for the new album, and hopefully more material before it's release!
