De l’oralité à la musique écrite; du geste à la sonorité; du mouvement à la ligne musicale; il est ici question de découvrir l’autre, de s’ouvrir aux sensibilités de chacun et de partager cette richesse.

Beatrice Deer

Acclaimed “Inu Indie” pop star Beatrice Deer is a singer-songwriter based in Montréal. Half Inuk and half Mohawk, Beatrice was born and raised in Nunavik, Québec, in the small village of Quaqtaq. She has released six studio albums, including her newest, titled “SHIFTING.” Her award-winning songs are crafted upon deeply personal lyrics and blend indie rock and modern folk with traditional Inuit stories and throat singing.

The recipient of a 2021 Prism Prize and an Apple Music Ambassador, Beatrice Deer sings in three languages: Inuktitut, English, and French. A beloved figure in Arctic Canada, she has performed worldwide, from the Venice Biennale to Norway’s Førde Traditional and World Music Festival to the Heard Museum in Phoenix, Arizona. Her bandmates and collaborators, all longstanding members of Montréal’s music community, have worked with diverse and dynamic musical acts such as Leif Vollebekk, Land of Talk, Stars, The Barr Brothers, The Besnard Lakes, Bell Orchestre, Little Scream, and Suuns.

Leonard Sumner Anishinaabe MC/Singer/Songwriter Leonard Sumner’s storytelling flows directly from the shores of Little Saskatchewan First Nation, located in the heart of the Interlake of Manitoba. Sumner’s self-determined sound is evidence of his ability to simultaneously occupy landscapes of multiple musical genres including Hip-Hop, Spoken Word, Country, and Rhythm and Blues. With every vibration of the strings on his guitar, Leonard rattles the dust-off truths that have been buried for far too long. On stage he poetically ‘sings awake’ the consciousness of audiences that may have been unaware of their slumber. In this era of unsettling history and healing wounds of the past, Sumner’s music is an expression of medicine that walks the line between fortitude and fragility.
