About the Artist
Tumassi comes from Niaqungnguuq settlement where he was born august 28, 1948 which was between Povugnituq and Akulivik. By 1976 his family moved to Akulivik where he is now the father of 2 children. Like many of the people there hunting and fishing are the way of life, plus putting to work his carving skills. While attending school in Moose Factory in 1976 a strong interest in music hit him after seeing the Billy Donson band performing which inticed Tumassi to start learning how to play the guitar. To this day still playing and writing songs. While his popularity grew he played and toured Nunavut, Nunavik, Ontario, and Quebec thus attracting attention from CBC in Montreal where his first recording was done then with Boot Records, to then record his first C.D. with Inukshuk Records.
Product Description
Eleven songs sung entirely in Inuktitut by Tumassi Quitsaq in a bluesy rock style, at times veering into country and western, and at others in a progressive rock style, always enjoyable. Quitsaq's voice is distinctive, and best displayed when he toys with the pronunciation of Inuktitut words, evident to any listener, such as in "Sikuliaqsiajuittuq". This fine collection of songs is well recorded and destined to be a northern classic. "Qujarivarit", the closing track, is a brilliant piece of pop.
