Hello everyone,
Just getting around to process the photos I took on March 20 at Qaummagiaq, the Inuit community’s spring celebration organized by Tungasuvvingat Inuit in Ottawa. I was so sorry I couldn’t stay till the end but here are a few photos I brought back.

Rapper Brian Tagalik who performed his song The Struggle, a very moving song about suicide. He got a well deserved standing ovation.
Brian’s song The Struggle was written through his, his father’s and grand-father’s eyes. It can be heard on Soundclound.
To get a feel for Saali and the Ravenhearts‘s music, check the following on Soundcloud. I can’t remember if they were all played that evening, but they’re definitely on my list of favorites:
Qannilirtuq
Innumarik
In so many ways,
A million voices.
I had to leave as The Jerry Cans, a group from Iqaluit, was starting its performance. I was stunned by the mixture of what sounded like country music with throat-singing. Most interesting! Looking forward to next year’s celebration.
Thank you Charlotte and TI for a great evening and for allowing me and a colleague from Pix3 Films to do some recruiting for the upcoming documentary film, Trapped in a human zoo. Later this year, you should definitely see on screen some of the people who were either sitting in the crowd or performing up on stage 😉
