Asani
August 15, 2009
Asani (“rock” in the Cree language) is a contemporary Aboriginal women’s trio from Edmonton. Carrying with them the traditional influences of First Nations and Metis music accompanied by drums and rattles, their songs resonate with their own blend of traditional vocals infused with the sounds of jazz, folk and blues.
Asani’s debut CD Rattle and Drum (2005) has been nominated for 11 music awards throughout North America, including a 2006 Juno Award nomination for ‘Aboriginal Recording of the Year.’ Asani received a Canadian Aboriginal Music Award in 2005 for Best Female Traditional/Cultural Roots Album.
Asani performs frequently in Canada as well as around the world, and has composed and performed musical soundtracks for documentaries, film and television. Having performed at both Carnegie Hall, New York and the Kennedy Centre in Washington, D.C., Asani is currently garnering national acclaim for their unique arrangement of O Canada.
