Tagaq! Always a good way to keep the hair on the back of your neck bristling, and ear wiggling. In good ways, though alarming at times. Just jaw-drop AMAZING live! Never miss....

Tagaq is amazing Peter! I haven't seen her live before but definitely wouldn't miss her if she is ever in the Ottawa area.

I saw Tagak live. It was an extraordinary experience. A bit unsettling but definitely unforgettable!

Wonderful show today, Alka ! I was working the hobby farm all day but had the old school boom box cranked to listen from any end of the garden.

From CBC: "One of the singers behind the musical duo Twin Flames faces seven charges over alleged sexual offences from the early 2000s. Sunchild Deer-Okpik, also known as Jaaji Okpik, is accused of a range of offences which are said to have occurred between January and May 2000. The charges include sexual assault, sexual touching of a young person while in a position of authority, and forcible confinement."
