The Indigenous Sounds Series highlights artists from Indigenous communities in Mundial Montreal’s programming. It highlights the talent, presence and diversity of the many Indigenous communities across Canada.
The series showcases export-ready artists and is accompanied by professional development activities, mentoring sessions and other targeted networking activities. This unique initiative within the industry was initiated by Mundial Montreal and was developed to build a bridge for artists to gain visibility and touring opportunities in new mainstream markets.

We recognize the Kanien’kehá;ka (Mohawk) people who continue to care for this land.
Sometimes the words we use don’t reflect the intentions we have. Here is a small manual, created by Indigenous peoples themselves, to guide you on ways you can work as an ally.
