Northern Cree - Nikamo Sing

Review by Zach Jones

Northern Cree's album Nikamo Sing is a powerful showcase of their captivating singing and drumming skills. The album features a mix of traditional and contemporary Indigenous songs that are beautifully arranged and executed with precision and passion.

The opening track, "Nikamo," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its soaring vocals and driving drumbeat. Other standout tracks include "Elders' Vision," a moving tribute to the wisdom and guidance of Indigenous elders, and "Red Dress," a haunting lament for missing and murdered Indigenous women.

Throughout the album, Northern Cree's vocal harmonies are nothing short of stunning, and their drumming is equally impressive. The rhythms are complex and dynamic, showcasing the group's mastery of the powwow drum.

Nikamo Sing is a must-listen for anyone interested in Indigenous music or those simply looking for an uplifting and powerful musical experience. Northern Cree has once again proven themselves to be one of the most talented and dynamic Indigenous music groups in the world.
