Ab-original music. 8 Days in May, Eh! Urban Gatherings goes beyond the powwow, showcasing emerging and established Indigenous artists.

"When it comes down to it, Aboriginal or not, we are artists first and music’s music. By doing this event, I’m hoping the pigeonholing that’s happened to Aboriginal artists will dissipate and people will see that Aboriginal music isn’t just fiddles, jigging and powwows. There are all sorts of contemporary music that comes from Aboriginals."

With such diversity, prepare to be pow-wowed! Speaking of Aboriginal Eh-mazement, that’s exactly how Dustin Harder felt when he met many of the musicians involved in the festival.

"I met most of them at AMP Camp," Harder says, speaking of Manitoba Music’s Aboriginal Music Program camp in Gimli. "I was one of 20 artists from across Canada chosen to go and I was blown away by the talent, just truly blown away. I thought ‘How come I haven’t heard of these people? I’ve had my ear to the ground of the Canadian music scene for 15 years.’ This event is one way people will hear these names. It’s just about helping the community."

This May 2012 will be The 3rd Annual 8 Days in May. Eh! Urban Gatherings. And will be held on May 4,5,11,12,18,19,20,25,and a special 9th day on the 26 at Various Venues across Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada.
