Karim Kanji in conversation with Adrian Sutherland from Attawapiskat.
The meeting began with a discussion about recent travels and the new album "Precious Diamonds." The album features two fully Cree songs and was recorded with a live band in Nashville. Adrian emphasized the importance of including songs in his native language for his indigenous fan base and the positive feedback received for the song in Cree. The conversation also touched on the significance of music as a means of self-expression and communication for performers, particularly in allowing them to convey emotions and aspects of their identity that may be challenging to express verbally.
The discussion then shifted to the difficulties faced by Adrian's community, including housing shortages, lack of clean water, and an opioid crisis.
Adrian Sutherland provided insights into his upcoming album release and live performance plans, highlighting his intention to play shows in Toronto, northwestern Ontario, Manitoba, and Quebec, as well as engage with schools and youth. The conversation concluded with information on where to find Adrian's music online.
