Inuktitut and English overview interview with Inuk Singer and Songwriter Angela Amarualik. Angela Amarualik was born and raised in Igloolik, Nunavut. She grew up in a big family Igloolik in the community with a population of approximately 1700. Angela has been singing since she was 7 years old. Her introductions to music mainly began with her sisters karaoke player and with her older brother teaching to to use his guitar. She was encouraged by her father and older brother who were both musicians. At the age of 12, Angela gained a keen interest to sing and write her own music. When she was 14, Angela sought to purchase a ukulele and began to learn the instrument by watching youtube tutorials. She began to participate in talent shows and was often invited to perform. Angela soon realized music was something she fully enjoyed and continued to practice her singing and songwriting skills. Angela began writing her first song when she was 16 years old, called Qailiqpunga. Since then, she has written 10 songs in total and continues to write more songs. Angela released her first self titled album in November 2018. Her CD released filled a coffee shop in Iqaluit where many were introduced to Angelas music. Angela is now working on her second CD, expected to be released at a later date. Angela loves to travel and learn from new experiences. On January 1, 2018, Angela was given the title of Miss Igloolik. Her hobbies include singing, writing, sewing, baking and spending time with her friends and family. You can find songs by Angela Amarualik on iTunes, GooglePlay and Spotify.

Why do I think we need a podcast that features Inuktitut content? I hope it will others to do the same and we’ll be able to keep hearing Inuktitut on the podcast waves.

Baby Anika and Grandma connecting over the phone on Sunday! Listen to Anika from her first heart beats to the sounds she shares with her loving 85 year Great Grandmother. These two hold a genuine place in my heart, what better way to get my podcast rolling than with my Grandma and her great granddaughter together via technology. Much love.

I love learning, so now I’ll be sharing as I move through my journey. My introduction to the podcast is to share what I hope to do as I record my thoughts, interview others, and learn more about my community. If you speak both English and Inuktitut, you’ll feel the most connected as my recordings will weave through both languages in no particular order. Welcome!
