This Week on Earthsongs: Twin Flames

earthsongs.net

  Twin Flames returns to Earthsongs with their new album Signal Fire. Husband and wife Chelsey June (Métis from Ottawa) and Jaaji (Inuk/Mohawk from Nunavik) pay tribute to each other and their Indigenous roots, taking their folk sound into more contemporary territory. Co-producing this album and incorporating throat singing and instruments from all over the world, like the didjeridoo and the bodhrán, Twin Flames achieve depth in both soundscape and content. Tracks like “She Remembers” explores the trauma experienced by Indigenous women and looks back to a time before such suffering was inflicted on native peoples. Twin Flames is nominated for three 2017 Canadian Folk Music awards.
