Tanya Tagaq


Tanya's music is not like any other singer. She's not even like any other Innu singer, but she is deeply grounded in its tradition.

It is not so much that she makes the music as she IS the music, making it very clear that throat singing is a very limited label.

For a number of years Tanya has been collaborating with DJ Michael Red. Through his laptop and a few tools Michael is able to loop and process Tanya's voice and weave in a few samples he has collected in Tanya's home town of Cambridge Bay, Nunavut.
