Description
Summary:A report on Tanya Tagaq, an Inuit throat singer from the Arctic Circle in the far North of Canada, who has brought the ancient art form into popular culture by mixing it with elements of pop and punk rock music. For Tagaq, her music is about more than just preserving the art itself, as her popularity has brought renewed attention to the long struggle of the Inuit people in Canada and the still misguided opinions they sometimes face about their culture from the outside. Includes interviews with Tagaq and her brother Carson.
