Katia Rock offers an immensely rich first album, which appears on the Samian label, Nikamo Musik, and which she will present during the big national holiday show in Montreal. The artist, originally from Mani-utenam, thus offers a dozen songs that delicately mix French and Innu through exhilarating and liberating melodies. “Were we rebellious / so bad / were we too beautiful / were we too feminine / to justify your infamous acts. » Uapen nuta – Land of our ancestors is a real hymn to the memory of missing and murdered Aboriginal women. The eponymous songUapen Nuta is itself an invitation to party, influenced, we guess, by the whole world and a certain generosity. Chin Nemusum, finally, is undoubtedly the cornerstone of the whole. While the poet Joséphine Bacon signs the lyrics, Katia Rock reveals music with country airs that we never tire of listening to. Available June 24.
