First Crush
Friday July 1st, 2022 with Zoë Argiropulos-Hunter
National Indigenous History Month is Every Month

Hi CKCU listeners! Join us for an hour of uninterrupted listening from exclusively Indigenous artists from across so-called Canada / Turtle Island. The theme of today's show reminds us of the long-set precedent that National Indigenous History Month is every month, as history continues to be made by the tapestry of Indigenous cultures and creativity that make up our national arts community! I've linked to more information about all of the artists within the playlist so you can browse their catalogs and learn more about them. There are some First Crush favs and new sounds in today's mix. As always, if you're listening to anything you think would be a good fit for the show, please send me an email at firstcrushpromotion@gmail.com or find me online @firstcrush613. I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful weekend! Enjoy. Zoë
