Tanya Tagaq

Tanya Tagaq in Concert with Nanook of the North is part of the Fusebox Festival.

Tanya Tagaq, a Polaris Music Prize winner and three-time Juno Award nominee, reclaims the controversial 1922 silent film Nanook of the North. Working with composer Derek Charke (whose Tundra Songs Tagaq performed with the Kronos Quartet), Tagaq, along with percussionist Jean Martin and violinist Jesse Zubot, performs a live accompaniment to the film’s silent images of life in an early 20th-century Inuit community in Northern Quebec.
