Asani (“rock” in the Cree language), a contemporary Aboriginal women’s a cappella trio from Edmonton, has been captivating audiences with their breathtaking harmonies, their dynamic vocal artistry and their powerful rhythmic style. Carrying with them the traditional influences of First Nations and Metis music accompanied by drums and rattles, their songs resonate with their own blend of traditional vocals infused with the sounds of jazz, folk and blues.
Asani performs frequently in Canada as well as around the world, and has composed and performed musical soundtracks for documentaries, film and television.
In addition to performances at Carnegie Hall, New York, the Kennedy Centre, Washington D.C., and the Smithsonian Folklife Festival, Asani has shared the stage with Ed Mann (Frank Zappa), Alan White (YES, John Lennon), Denny Seiwell (Paul McCartney and Wings), Rich Mangicaro (the Eagles), Pete Lockett, Sam Roberts, Susan Aglukark, Corb Lund and Le Vent du Nord.
Asani’s debut CD “Rattle and Drum” (2005) has been nominated for 11 music awards throughout North America, including a 2006 Juno Award nomination for ‘Aboriginal Recording of the Year’. Asani received a Canadian Aboriginal Music Award in 2005 for Best Female Traditional/Cultural Roots Album.
Asani is currently garnering national acclaim for their unique arrangement of "O Canada".

Alors
voilà, c'est l'automne et pour se réchauffer un peu et ne pas tomber
dans la grisaille du quotidien Parisien on refait un peu la déco (on
espère que Valérie Damido - orthographe à vérifier - ne m'en voudra pas
pour la concurrence lol...)
Voici
donc une version acoustique de "Prendre le vent" que vous ne trouverez
que sur mon myspace et évidemment lors des concerts acoustiques...
ainsi qu'une chanson qui s'intitule "Marcher dans tes pas".
Et à ne pas Manquer le 25/10 le live sur Europe 1 dans l'émission "On connaît la musique" de 23h à 1h ;)
After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace...
Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?
