Blog: Aboriginal Music Week draws bigger crowds in Manitoba

Tuesday, November 8, 2011  

"Another year of the Manito Ahbee festival and Aboriginal Music Week has come to an end. And there is always a sense of loneliness come Monday morning after six days and nights filled with music and friends from across the nation.

It seems that the audiences grow each year for Aboriginal Music Week. The Pyramid Cabaret saw two sold out nights, with crowds waiting to get inside to see acts like Derek Miller and A Tribe Called Red's Electric Pow Wow.

Meanwhile, more intimate music showcases took place at the Windsor which saw some very different music for the local blues bar. From hip hop to country, industry-types and music lovers could sit back and enjoy the live shows."
