Sainte-Marie, Buffy - Power In The Blood

Produziert in Tornoto von Michael Philip Wojewoda (Barenaked Ladies, Jeff Healey), Chris Birkett (Sinéad O'Connor, Bob Geldof) und Jon Levine (Melissa Etheridge, Serena Ryder) liegen auf -Power In The Blood-, ihrem ersten Album seit sechs Jahren, zwölf neue, inspirierte Songs der Songwriterin vor - über Kunst und Aktuelles, Politik an sich und die Welt der US-Ureinwohner im Besonderen.



In den frühen 60er-Jahren betrat sie erstmals die Bühnen Nordamerikas: Buffy Sainte-Marie, geboren in einem indianischen Reservat in Kanada, aufgewachsen in den USA. Die Musikerin, Komponistin (Universal Soldier) und Schauspielerin avancierte zum Protestsong-Superstar. Mit unverkennbar schnellem, fast anklagendem Vibrato in der Stimme prangerte die Folksängerin das Leid der amerikanischen Ureinwohnern an - und wurde prompt vom US-Radio boykottiert. 1982 gewann sie mit dem von u. a. Joe Cocker gesungenen Lied -Up Where We Belong- einen Oscar, die Songs ihrer bislang 17 Alben wurden von Größen wie Elvis Presley, Janis Joplin, Neil Diamond und Kanye West interpretiert.



One of the most original and important voices of our time.



Equal parts activist, educator, songwriter, performer and visual artist, Buffy Sainte-Marie has throughout her life been an untiring champion for indigenous people and the environment, through her music, art, education projects, and by taking direct political action. She is one of the most enduring and popular Native American performers, her music having touched millions of people around the world.



From her start in New York City's Greenwich Village in the early to 1960s alongside Leonard Cohen, Neil Young and Joni Mitchell, Buffy made a name for herself as a gifted songwriter, writing hits for Janis Joplin, Elvis Presley, Barbra Streisand, and Neil Diamond. Her most well know song is the Oscar winning Up Where We Belong from An Officer and Gentlemen. But Buffy is most acclaimed for her song Universal Soldier that became one of the first anti-Vietnam war anthems to inspire a generation to protest.



Power in the Blood - her first new album in 6 years, includes odes to the sanctity of life, the splendour of Mother Nature, and scything political and social commentary on songs like the title track, a collaboration with British electronic group Alabama 3, as well as the tracks Uranium War and Generation. The album was recorded in Toronto with three different producers, Michael Philip Wojewoda (Barenaked Ladies, Jeff Healey), Chris Birkett (Sinéad O'Connor, Bob Geldof) and Jon Levine (Melissa Etheridge, Serena Ryder).
