Name: Tio'tia:ke
Duration: P00H03M57S
Description: In Kanien'keha (Mohawk language), the land that we know as Montreal is called Tio'tia:ke, which means "where the currents meet". Montreal is an island between 2 rivers, one of which is the mighty St Lawrence. Our city also sits on unceded Mohawk land, so I needed to acknowledge and honour that very first truth about this place, right off the bat

lyrics

Tiotia:ke

Pour l'appeler, faut dénouer
le fil de l'histoire rembombiner
Bien avant de l'habiter
c'était une terre façonnée
consacrée, cultivée
défrichée, parfois divisée
baptisé par le feu sacré
dénommé Tiotia:ke

Homa
Jean Talon
The Point
Mile End

Le plateau
The ghetto
Le Village

Modern (as opposed to retro) soul with a jazzy touch. Great voice, good songs, fantastic arrangements - very idiosyncratic approach! The chosen favorite works best when played directly after the preceding one, Where there Is Smoke ;-) Carsten Pieper
