We are super CHUFFED to collaborate with Music in the Park West Kelowna to bring JUNO award winning Indigenous icon iskwē to perform July 22nd!!!!!
Influenced by risk takers such as Bjork, David Bowie and Erykah Badu, IsKwé explores cross-cultural teachings and political ideology to discover “where self fits into community.” Her music reaches out to bring you in.”
“To see Iskwé (pron: iss-kway, “woman” in Cree) unify riveting electronic trip-hop beats with her Cree/Dene/Irish spirit is to witness a revolutionary way of moving through the world. Listen to her powerful lyrics. It’s clear this Winnipeg-born, singer/songwriter means business. She tackles the weighty truths of Canada’s colonial past, looks unflinchingly at the future, and shines a bright light on the gut wrenching loss of missing and murdered Indigenous women: “I won’t let you look away anymore.” She won’t let you, and you won’t want to.”
