Event Notes
Teweikan Revived: Spotlight on First Nations Music A long time ago, men, women and children of all ages, clans, allegiances and nations were united by the sound of its vibrations. In the hands of contemporary singer-songwriters Pakesso Mukash (Cri/Abénaki), Shauit (Innu) and Moe Clark (Métis), it is still a powerful tool of communion. With hip hop, folk, electro or reggae undertones, the teweikan - traditional drum - still strives today to create bridges between generations, territories, the living and the dead, the conquered and the rebellious.
