From the 69th parallel in the Arctic born on the land to Nomadic parents and settled in the hamlet community of Igloolik, these childhood friends formed a group in ‘77. In '85 they recorded the first Indigenous language rock album in North America. In 2010, a new recording was produced on location in the Arctic. Traditional “ayaya” parts and sung entirely in Inuktitut, the result is a heavy melodic rock/metal album played by veterans of the genre with a distinctly original character.

I have a little anxiety here and there and I thought I'd relieve it by writing a song about it and motivating myself (and others hopefully) to keep my head up and go live life like I would without it. It's really hard sometimes. I sometimes have a hard time looking at people in their eyes and if I do for too long, my heart starts to race. Sometimes I start thinking about the hurt in life (everyone's, not only mine) and my chest starts to hurt and I feel guilty not being able to help. A lot of others too but just listen and you'll understand.

Jason Mraz - I Wont Give Up

Qalunaat Nunanganit is the first single from Aasiva's debut self-titled album, out June 8, 2018 via Aakuluk Music.

ABOUT AASIVA: 

Colleen Nakashuk, who performs as Aasiva, is a young Inuktitut songwriter and exciting addition to Nunavut’s flourishing indie music scene, one that is quickly gathering momentum and attention on the national stage.
 
Aasiva’s sound, airy and lively, is shaped by her melodious voice set against playful ukulele. With Inuktitut lyrics and delicate throat singing elements interwoven throughout her songs, Aasiva’s music offers a fresh, buoyant and distinctive twist on indie folk.
 
Originally from the remote and majestic community of Pangnirtung, Aasiva currently resides in Iqaluit, also home to new label Aakuluk Music and, not coincidentally, a hotbed for contemporary Inuktitut music. A graduate of the Nunavut Sivuniksavut program for Inuit youth, a groundbreaking cultural and educational partnership with Ottawa’s Algonquin College, Nakashuk is eager to pass her knowledge of throat singing to younger generations of Inuit youth through her performances. She has appeared with throat-singer and Jerry Cans collaborator Avery Keenainak throughout Nunavut and beyond.
 
With a new album brimming with songs about language, love and the luxury of her Inuktitut upbringing, Aasiva adds her voice to a growing chorus of young artists proudly bringing new Inuktitut music into the mainstream.
