“Elisapie gave new meaning to 10 pop and rock classics by translating them into Inuktitut”This great interview delves into the making of the album
I liked the bit about reaching out to the original artists (who all said yes)
“Who do I know who knows Led Zeppelin?”

Elisapie – Inuktitut (2023, Inuk)
Our next spotlight is on number 1086 on The List, submitted by @Yuki.
I’m not a covers person. Too often they come off to me as an artist just trying to prove their chops, saying ‘hey, check out what I can do with this song’, and I, more often than not, reply ‘I would prefer not to’. But this album, an entire album of covers from Inuk alt-folk artist Elisapie, comes off entirely differently. This isn’t a ‘look what I can do’ but a ‘these are how I heard these songs, where I lived and with the things happening in my life at the time’. Or even, given that every cover on this album has been translated and is sung in the artist’s own language (Inuktitut), ‘this is my story, told through these songs other people wrote’.
From the Bandcamp description:
“It’s a covers album that sprouted in the artist’s mind…when songs by artists such as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Blondie, Fleetwood Mac, Metallica, Queen, and Cyndi Lauper, whose music once took over the community radio airwaves throughout Nunavik, Northern Quebec, triggered a flood of tears. Many of these songs were an escape as the community and cultural references were being challenged by colonization. Elisapie began a mental archaeological process: finding songs associated with emotional memories and people from her past… Every song is linked to a loved one or an intimate story that has shaped the person Elisapie is today. Through this act of cultural reappropriation, she tells her story, offers these songs as a gift to her community, and makes her language and culture resonate beyond the Inuit territory.”
Below is a track list noting the originals.
- Isumagijunnaitaungituq (The Unforgiven – Metallica)
- Sinnatuumait (Dreams – Fleetwood Mac)
- Taimangalimaaq (Time After Time – Cyndi Lauper)
- Qimatsilunga (I Want to Break Free – Queen)
- Qaisimalaurittuq (Wish You Were Here – Pink Floyd)
- Californiamut (Going to California – Led Zeppelin)
- Uummati Attanarsimat (Heart of Glass – Blondie)
- Inuuniaravit (Born to Be Alive – Patrick Hernandez)
- Taimaa Qimatsiniungimat (Hey, That’s No Way to Say Goodbye – Leonard Cohen)
- Qimmijuat (Wild Horses – Rolling Stones) 05:29
I guarantee you’ve never heard these songs like this before. Grab a tissue and give this incredible album a spin. And, if you like what you hear but maybe want a bit of a pick-me-up afterwards, also check out the Remixes EP, which has danceable takes on tracks 2, 4, and 7.

@xkataquapit I love Elisapie. This is one of my favourite songs: ''The Ballad of the Runaway Girl'': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nz-iVxjOxGE
Powerful, love the melody. -
Thought this was amazing to listen to tonight. Haunting, melodic, dreamy, amazing. I noticed her name tonight because her name appeared in syllabics - it's not the same language as my James Bay Cree but it used the same alphabet.
I love the song because its in her language and I love 90s music and Cheryl Crow.

“Des manuels de #langues autochtones complètement bidon
Pour 9,70 $, il est possible d’acquérir sur Amazon l’ouvrage #Inuktitut To #English Phrasebook – Everyday Common Words And Phrases, publié par l’obscure maison d’édition Phoenix Sun. Pour qui ne maîtrise pas la langue des Inuits, le manuel d’apprentissage semble classique, enchaînant des phrases courantes telles que « Comment allez-vous ? », avec une version en caractères inuits, suivie d’une transcription phonétique en alphabet latin. Le souci, c’est que ces formules ne signifient strictement rien, nada, walou.” #AI #IA -
How about starting the day with an Inuktitut rendition of the 1980s pop classic by the Eurythmics: Sinnatuatiavait by the advanced Inuktitut class at Nunavut Sivuniksavut

Palituq said an incident occurred where Josiah scratched a flight attendant. Security was called & the family of 5 was escorted off the plane.
"They need to apologize to my daughter & her family. They should not treat people with a disability this way whatsoever," Palituq told CBC, in #Inuktitut.
"My grandson is wheelchair-bound. The employees need to have a better understanding of how to treat incidents like this, when there are obvious signs of a #disability." -
A passion for preserving #language led Makkovik resident, Janine Lightfoot, to being named #Inuk Woman of the Year
"#Inuktitut is so much more than just grammar and vocabulary," Lighfoot said. "It's like a connection to your community, to yourself, to your family, your history."

' “Learning language is really scary, right? It’s frightening! People will tell stories like ‘I’m learning to speak, people are laughing at me’ which makes them not want to do it.
“But here we have an offering where you can listen and get some basics in the privacy of your home.” '

You didn't know you needed to hear this old Pink Floyd thing redone in #Inuktitut — but this is #music you have to hear!

“En avril, Jessica Nadeau est allée au #Nunavik pour témoigner de la réalité dans les #écoles Elle y a vécu de nombreuses péripéties.
J’enchaînais les entrevues, essayant de saisir les nombreuses différences entre le système scolaire du Nord et celui que je connais. J’ai même eu droit à un surnom en #inuktitut : Apirquk. Celle qui pose constamment des questions.”

@NunavutBirder @tezoatlipoca Wow. I just looked it up and also discovered how far north you are. But I also discovered that Apple Maps shows Nunavut place names in Inuktitut first. Google doesn't do that. Very cool.

I believe I mentioned the excellent #Elisapie album #Inuktitut the other week. May I also recommend #JeremyDutcher's new album #Motewolonuwok? It is easy to just let it and his voice take you away and you can. But the deeper waters are all the more vivid in their power. Perhaps especially now. #music https://jeremydutcher1.bandcamp.com/album/motewolonuwok

Elisapie's new album Inuktitut is just a fantastic work. Translations of our collective radio culture into Inuktitut, arranged originally, and just burning with emotion.

BTW, I really can't recommend #Elisapie's new album #Inuktitut enough. The simple summary is that she translated and adapted a slew of nostalgic faves (#Queen, #Metallica, the #RollingStones, #Blondie, #FleetwoodMac etc) into Inuit. But it's a really cohesive and remarkable series of overall transformations. #music https://elisapie.bandcamp.com/album/inuktitut

Until the middle of last year, I was taking Inuktitut and Anishinaabemowin lessons. I no longer have access to these classes and don’t have anyone to practice with, so my words are going away. I think Canada should put at least as much energy and money into restoring these languages as it did in trying to wipe them out. That would be a basic act of reconciliation. #Indigedon #Inuktitut #Anishinaabemowin #Ojibwe #Reconciliation #Canada

Time to balance the gloom & doom.
#Inuk singer Elisapie's #Inuktitut rendition of Blondie's Heart of Glass is so beautiful. Link to it in this #CBC story. The #Indigenous #Arctic people are the utmost cool.

This is really really good. Elisapie does Blondie.
