The Clash Speaking Inuktitut = The Jerry Cans
Posted on
They are“… what would happen if The Clash had grown up speaking Inuktitut…” according to Penguin Eggs.
Fast rising northern stars, The Jerry Cans perform a delicious mix of Inuktitut alt-country, throat singing, and reggae.
Calling them unique is as much of an understatement as calling the universe big.
Let’s just say they’re wonderfully exciting, fantastic, and fun.
Passionate about preserving Inuktitut, they perform many of their songs in that language.
But it’s not their political or cultural motives that have grabbed people’s attention.
It’s the way that people, ranging from elders to young folk, cannot resist dancing to their high-energy tunes.
Taj Weekes & Adowa unite social consciousness with a Reggae groove, then blend in elements of acoustic roots-rock and Afro-folk.
Every once in a while, a truly original, fantastic-sounding group comes along and creates excitement on the Americana music scene.
