We Are Digging Roots For the Light

At the core of Ontario’s Digging Roots are spousal songwriters Raven Kanatakta and ShoShona Kish. The group won the prestigious Aboriginal Album of the Year JUNO in 2010 and is back with new album For the Light, an eclectic mix of alternative, roots, reggae, rock, and blues, or as the band aptly calls it, “heartbeat music”. With this new charmer, Digging Roots furthers its stated cause to “spread love and affect positive change in this crazy world”. The group will be touring the west following an album release party in Toronto on June 24.  iTunes

Debut MV from JUNO Winners A Tribe Called Red

Hot off a much deserved JUNO win, cutting edge EDM powwow trio A Tribe Called Red has released its first music video for “Sisters” (featuring Northern Voice), the most popular track from album Nation II Nation. What we especially love about this is that its special effects, innovative flashy lights and magical colours combined with beautiful Aboriginal fashions and art makes First Nations culture very, very trendy. It’s an inspiration and gives Canada’s most precious people something to cheer about and hold their heads high. In fact, it’s something that all Canadians can celebrate and be proud of. Well done and bravo to these brilliant DJs!  iTunes
