One of Canada’s most original and celebrated artists, Tanya Tagaq is an improvisational singer, avant-garde composer and bestselling novelist. Her improvisational approach lends itself to collaboration across genres and forms. Her work includes numerous guest vocal appearances (Buffy Sainte-Marie, Weaves, A Tribe Called Red, Fucked Up), original avant-garde classical compositions (Kronos Quartet, The Toronto Symphony Orchestra), commissions (National Maritime Museum in London, UK) and more. In its many forms, from novel Split Tooth to most recent album Retribution, Tanya Tagaq’s art challenges static ideas of genre and cultureand contends with themes of environmentalism, human rights,and post-colonial issues. At Rewire 2019, she will be joined by violinist Jesse Zubot and percussionist Jean Martin, channelingher latest album Retribution and forthcoming release Toothsayer into an intense live performance.
