Reclaimed
RECLAIMED is a weekly series on CBC Music that explores the many worlds of contemporary Indigenous music. From traditional songs and acoustic sounds to Native hip-hop, R&B, and the dancefloor-filling beats of electric powwow, RECLAIMED is a one hour soundtrack to the Indigenous Next Wave: a new generation of Indigenous artists reclaiming their culture through music and song.
Equal parts celebration, resistance, and reclamation, RECLAIMED introduces listeners to a new generation of Indigenous artists, while paying respect to First Nations musicians of previous generations that have set the stage for today’s emerging talent to rise. The series is a platform for musical discovery and education, incorporating everything from powwow songs and protest music, to electronic beats and incendiary political hip-hop. Over 100 compelling episodes, RECLAIMED interweaves Indigenous music with live performances, artist interviews and profiles, and songs in Indigenous languages. From Buffy Sainte-Marie and Robbie Robertson to Tanya Tagaq, A Tribe Called Red and beyond, Cree/Dene host Jarrett Martineau is your guide to the Indigenous Next Wave.
