Released 20 years ago, in 2004, Taima is the result of a collaboration between Inuk singer Elisapie Isaac and Abitibi-born composer Alain Auger. The duo's first and only album stands out for it's unique blend of musical styles, including alt-folk, alternative pop, rock, trip-hop and traditional Inuit music. It's title, Taima, means "enough is enough" or "let's move on" in Inuktitut, an idiom that embodies the spirit of the album. Made up of 11 songs, the record features lyrics in Inuktitut, French and English, and deals with themes such as love, solitude, reconciliation and identity. It also explores the relationship between indigenous and non-indigenous people, as well as the relationship between humans and nature. Praised by critics upon it's release, the album earned Taima several distinctions, including a Juno Award for Indigenous Album of the Year in 2005. Soon after, Taima went on to perform all over the world, including at the popular British music festival Glastonbury. Two decades later, the album was remastered to celebrate it's 20th anniversary, giving new life to it's moody, sensual and sometimes gritty atmospheres. Translated with DeepL. Com (free version)
