专辑简介

Over 4000 years ago, when the first Inuit moved from place to place in the Arctic Regions, the drums and haunting chants of the voice were the sole means of entertainment. These songs were also used to pass information from the old to the new generation. Ayi Ayi songs told stories of the past, and contained hope for the future. The drum and the voice! Today, music is an important part of the Inuit culture. Northern Haze, a group of young men, all born and raised in Igloolik, carry on this traditional way. But they have added the rhythms of modern rock usic to the drums and voice of the past. Lead singer and guitarist Kolitalik Inukshuk with bass player and back up vocalist Elijah Kunnuk, drummer John Inooya and guitarist James Unalaq blend the music of today with the thoughts of yesterday and the hopes for the future in this first album to feature Inuktitut Rock and Roll. The songs speak of the way of life of the older generation as in Inusivut, and of present day relationship as in Anivunga.

The group "Northern Haze" hopes this recording will please the older generation as well as show young Inuit that modern sounds are an important part of the future of Inuit music.
