“Potent commentary on indigenous heritage, autonomy and experiences … gripping, dynamic and thunderous … ” —JazzTimesFor Mali Obomsawin (Odanak First Nation), the language of free jazz and the language of Wabanaki are variations on a shared theme. Together with her sextet, the composer/bassist weaves the prosody of one into the syntax of the other. Stories emerge: atonal winds wail over woozy bass lines; voices crescendo over beating hand drums. Melding Wabanaki songs with religious hymns and jazz traditions with Québécois folk music, Obomsawin chronicles the complex histories that have come to shape Abenaki life today.
This is night two of a two-night engagement with Obomsawin. Learn more about her live performance of the Sugarcane score on April 16.
