Kamani A friend of mine originally introduced me to Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa. One year or so later, after my tastes in music expanded a lot, I found it on Bandcamp, and then immediately bought it. It is such a lovely album, and it’s origins are important (read the description, it can tell you better than I can. Words are hard). It is absolutely worth listening to.
Thank you for making these songs and for how you showed this music’s origin. Favorite track: Eqpahak.

orwo All what you do it so inspire me, thank you.
I ordered your vinyl and CD Favorite track: Qonute.

jonathan the biggest ting i've heard in years! i can't imagine how he felt finding the original recordings but he has made a magnificent work of them. beautiful, moving and whilst modern full of reverence for his ancestors. blew me away. a masterpiece.

Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa is the debut album by Canadian composer and tenor, Jeremy Dutcher – which involves post-classical rearrangement of his Wolastoq First Nation traditional music. Granted access to the Canadian Museum of History, Jeremy discovered wax cylinders from 1907 of his ancestors singing forgotten songs and stories that had been taken from the Wolastoqiyik Nation generations ago. The album is Jeremy’s contribution to his heritage and community in attempts to revitalize the Wolastoq language to the world, which has less than 100 speakers alive today. This collection of ground breaking post-classical arrangements is truly one of a kind and recalls the mood of Rufus Wainwright's operatic performance or the haunting pop of Anthony & The Johnsons.
