Indigenous Sounds Now – Saturday, August 31 & Sunday, September 1
The music of Indigenous People is resonating world-wide as more people are exposed to the many unique experiences being shared. These voices and Indigenous Sounds are now heard through songs of celebration, joy, sorrow, separation, reclamation, reconciliation, and more. Indigenous music has grown tremendously over the years and is heard across many genres. Be it country, blues, DJ’s, hip hop, rock, folk, or alternative music, Indigenous musicians are creating a musical mosaic like never before.
Music is often considered medicine for the soul and there’s no better way to wrap up your summer than by enjoying an evening gathering of Indigenous music. Whether it’s heart-felt, toe-tapping or edgy, you will hear a wonderful spectrum of music. The power of Indigenous Sounds Now will once again resonate at SummerSeries in Trillium Park at Ontario Place for two free, all ages concerts.
The weekend, curated by Elaine Bomberry, is hosted by Donna Sound and includes performances by Classic Roots, 2nd Line Bluegrass Band, Nadjiwan, Lacey Hill, Semiah Smith (Band), Jim Jacobs and Jeff Monague.
