Calling all Indigenous Musicians

DIG YOUR ROOTS TALENT SEARCH UNDERWAY
Calling all Canadian and International Indigenous Artists

Ottawa - The National Campus and Community Radio Association (NCRA/ANREC) is
calling for submissions for its national talent development initiative.
After successful years with Hip Hop, Spoken Word, Electronic Dance and
Roots, this year will see the continuation of the series with our fifth
project, “Dig Your Roots – Indigenous”, showcasing both our own Indigenous
artists as well as those who come from all over the globe.

“We’re doing something different with the project this year”, says Lydia
Masemola, NCRA/ANREC President. “We’ve been focusing on under-exposed styles
of music, but this year, it is more about the artists themselves and who
they are and where they come from, no matter what style of music or spoken
word they work in. Canadian Aboriginal artists play such an important role
in exploring and examining the roots of Canadian culture. As well, the
International compilation reflects the multicultural aspect of Canada and
how such diverse communities have influenced our own Canadian cultural
identity. I think “Dig Your Roots – Indigenous” will prove to be a
cornerstone for the overall series and one that will truly emulate the
entire mandate of this project.”

Dig Your Roots features independent artists from all across Canada on its
website as well as through a series of compilations and live concert
broadcasts. For “Dig Your Roots – Indigenous”, both Canadian Aboriginal and
International artists are invited to submit their work to be featured on
the Dig Your Roots website, where up to 200 artists will be showcased.
Following a national selection process, 30 of these artists will be chosen
to appear on compilations to be released in the spring of 2006. These
artists will take part in a series of regional concerts, each of which will
be live coast-to-coast-to-coast on participating radio stations.

Deadline for submissions: November 23, 2005. For more information visit
http://www.DigYourRoots.ca

Dig Your Roots/Découvre tes racines is a Canadian talent development
initiative coordinated by the National Campus and Community Radio
Association/l’Association nationale des radios étudiantes et communautaires
(NCRA/ANREC), with funding provided by Corus Entertainment Inc. The project
aims to promote Canadian artists specializing in musical genres that are
under-represented in the commercial radio sector. As the not-for-profit
national association of organizations and individuals committed to
volunteer-based, community-oriented radio broadcasting in Canada, the
NCRA/ANREC is dedicated to providing resources and concrete, meaningful
support towards the enhanced recognition and development of Independent
Canadian music artists. Dig Your Roots. Discover Your Culture. Grow a
Consciousness.

*****************************

« DÉCOUVRE TES RACINES » EST À LA RECHERCHE DE NOUVEAUX TALENTS
Avis à tous les artistes autochtones canadiens et d'ailleurs dans le monde

Ottawa - L'Association nationale des radios étudiantes et communautaires
(NCRA/ANREC) fait un appel de soumissions aux artistes autochtones de
partout au pays. Après le hip hop, le spoken word, la danse électronique, et
le roots, voici maintenant notre cinquième projet annuel intitulé cette fois
« Découvre tes racines – autochtones » mettant de l'avant les artistes
autochtones d'ici et des quatre coins du globe.

« Nous tentons une nouvelle approche cette année » affore Lydia Masemola,
présidente de l'ANREC. « Par le passé, nous nous sommes intéressés à des
styles musicaux marginaux mais cette année, le projet porte plutôt sur les
artistes eux-mêmes, leur personnalité, leurs origines peu importe le style
musical qu'ils créént. Les artistes autochtones canadiens jouent un rôle
fondamental dans l'exploration des racines de la culture canadienne. De
plus, l'aspect international du projet reflète aussi le caractère
multi-culturel du Canada et montre à quel point la diversité de sa
population a influencé notre façon de définir notre identité culturelle. Je
pense que « Découvre tes racines - autochtones » sera la plaque tournante
pour l'ensemble de nos projets. »

« Découvre tes racines » encourage les artistes indépendants de partout au
Canada sur son site ainsi que par une série de compilations et de diffusions
de concerts. Pour « Découvre tes racines - autochtones », les artistes
appartenant à une Première Nation d'ici ou d'ailleurs sont invités à nous
faire parvenir leur oeuvres musicales pour qu'elles soient par la suite
accessible à tous via notre site web sur lequel jusqu'à 200 artistes
pourront être représentés. En suivant un processus de sélection national, 30
artistes verront leur musique diffusée sur des compilations CD dont la
sortie est prévue pour mars 2006. Ces mêmes artistes participeront à une
série de concerts régionaux rediffusés d'un bout à l'autre du pays sur les
radios membres de notre réseau dès le printemps 2006.

La date-limite pour les soumissions est le 23 novembre 2005. Pour plus
d'information, visitez notre site au http://www.digyourroots.ca
