Event Notes
SUSAN AGLUKARK’s album “This Child” was released in January 1995. In 2025 Susan and her full band will be touring coast to coast to coast performing hits from “This Child” through all the years to the current album with multi-media video support.
Susan was often asked where the album’s title came from. Her reply is, ““This Child”, the [titular] song, was my artist statement, my call to personal action. I started with what I knew and at the time that I was writing “This Child”, what I knew was a life of deep alone-ness. I left home to start over and this felt very much like disconnecting from something critical, a land-based way of connection which was the Inuit way and a most beautiful kind of connecting to humanity, the alone-ness came from the fear that I was disconnecting from this. “This Child” was my song to my future artist and Inuk self, telling myself to write who you are so you don't ever forget where you come from, who you are and why you left.”
A multi-Juno Award winner, Officer of the Order of Canada, and recipient of the Governor General's Performing Arts Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement, SUSAN AGLUKARK invites you to experience “This Child” the tour as it was written, a call to action.
This tour will introduce to audiences ANGELA AMARUALIK as an opening act, throat singer and back-up vocalist. Angela is an accomplished singer and songwriter whose music has taken her across Canada.
