we had the pleasure to hear a musical artist who is new to me...Eekwol
...at a local International Women's Day Brunch. (Yes, I'm one of the token male supporters of IWD.) Anyway, I'm not really a big fan of Hip-Hop, partly because of it's relation to Rap, which started as such an angry and destructive musical medium, and also because, since listening to CBC Radio Two, most of my exposure to contemporary musical styles has vanished. I actually find this quite distressing, and I'm hoping to do something about that. Anyway, getting back on topic, this young Aboriginal woman was just wonderful! Even her darker songs had a hopeful edge to them, and she does have some real talent. I hope she finds success in her musical pursuits. (We even went out yesterday and bought one of her CD's, The List.) If you lean in that direction, or are willing to risk adding to your musical tastes, give her music a listen...
