{"product_id":"bizhiki-unbound-cd","title":"Bizhiki - Unbound (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails: \u003c\/strong\u003eUnbound opens with a single, trembling chord that rises and\r\ndescends before meeting a warm, beguiling voice, a voice\r\nsinging in a tradition that's been heard in this northern river\r\ncountry for millennia. The music that follows is a soulful\r\ndialogue between the ancient tradition of powwow singing and\r\na contemporary musical palette. On Unbound, the powwow\r\nstyle of singing is entwined with synthesized voice modulation,\r\nand hand drumming is accented with electronic samples and\r\nbeats - the harmonies and resonances are equal parts cultural\r\nand musical.\r\nGeographically, Bizhiki is almost wholly a made-in-Wisconsin\r\nproject, a collaboration between Dylan Bizhikiins Jennings, Joe\r\nRainey and the multi-instrumentalist Sean Carey (S. Carey), who\r\nfor years has been a secret weapon within the Bon Iver family.\r\nBezhikiins Jennings grew up singing within the powwow\r\ntradition, around the Lac Du Flambeau and Lac Courte Oreilles\r\nreservations in Central Wisconsin. He now makes his home in\r\nNorthern Wisconsin, on the Bad River reservation on the shores\r\nof Lake Superior. He's joined on the album by his adopted\r\nbrother, Rainey, a Red Lake Ojibwe powwow singer from\r\nMinneapolis who now makes his home within his wife's Oneida\r\nNation on the shores of Lake Michigan.\r\nThe collaboration between these three musicians first began at\r\nthe Eaux Claires festival in 2015. The festival was being organized\r\non Ojibwe's ancestral homelands, and the organizers didn't feel\r\nright without the inclusion of the native communities who lived\r\nnearby. Bizhikiins Jennings remembers getting an invitation to\r\nplay the festival and thinking \"I wish more people would say this\r\n- that instead of reading from some land acknowledgement,\r\nthat they would say 'we're gonna give your people space and\r\njust invite you to do what you wanna do.'\" The open-endedness\r\nof the initial invitation and the \"let's just do something together\"\r\nspirit continues to inform Bizhiki's process.\r\nRecording steadily over the course of years - and between\r\nseveral projects from Bizhiki's members, including two solo\r\nalbums (Joe Rainey's Niineta and S. Carey's Break Me Open) -\r\nthe trio chipped away at an expansive, ambitious and unique\r\nrecord that sounds like no other music being made today.\r\nUnbound is a collaboration between a group of singers and\r\nmusicians at a particular time and place, exchanging ideas in an\r\nopen-ended dialogue deeply considering the resourc\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFranklin Warrior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Unbound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e SGC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e She’s All We Have\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rez News\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Nashke!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Float Back By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Trying To Live\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Gigawaabamin (Come Through)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Call Me Home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Medicine River\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50400842088722,"sku":"656605246529","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/4342110-3183771.jpg?v=1729118061","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/bizhiki-unbound-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
