Nikamu Mamuitun II
Since 2017, Nikamu Mamuitun has celebrated the encounter between Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists through music. For this new edition, Mimi O'Bonsawin (Abenaki, Ontario), Sandrine Masse (Wendate, Wendake), Pako (Atikamekw, Manawan), Willows (Métis de la Rivière Rouge, Manitoba) – and three non-Indigenous artists – Mariko (Sainte-Émilie-de-l'Énergie), Velours Velours (Sainte-Anne-des-Monts/Trois-Rivières) and Luan Larobina (Latino-Gaspéienne, Douglastown) join their voices to create a common repertoire and reach out to audiences.
Under the musical direction of Ivan Boivin-Flamand (Atikamekw, Manawan) and the artistic direction of Guillaume Arsenault, this project will give birth to an album recorded at Makusham studio and a new show that will be created in Petite-Vallée in the fall of 2025. Through exchange and transmission, Nikamu Mamuitun brings to life the meeting of cultures and celebrates the richness of musical mixing. A powerful and authentic show, witness to unique human and artistic connections.
