The Jerry Cans create music inspired by their hometown of Iqaluit, Nunavut, and life in the Canadian Arctic. With a unique mix of traditional Inuit throat singing and roots-rock sung in the Indigenous language of Inuktitut, The Jerry Cans are a distinctly Northern sound. The band is passionate about helping to preserve the Inuktitut language and are committed to challenging common misconceptions about life in the North. Their high energy performances have thrilled audiences in countries all across the globe including Australia, Scotland, Greenland, Cuba and Norway.
This is a pretty unique band which plays a very important cultural role in the music they play. It is an unfortunate fact that many thousands of years of indigenous culture from all across Canada is struggling to be remembered. While this is largely due to efforts since the arrival of European colonists to the continent to "integrate" indigenous families to the European way of life (a kind way of wording cultural genocide, separating children from families, and systematic racism for hundreds of years) music like this is a testament to the strength, wisdom, and tenacity of the people and traditions that occupied Canada in harmony with the earth for thousands of years.
Lyrics:
Aullaqsimaguvit ukiutaqtumi
Anuraqattaqtillugu
Iqaumajaqattalanga taikanimiutaq

Uqqurunnasaqimagaluaqqat
Uqqujumiqattaqtillugu
Nalligilaurakku
Warning: Spoiler!When you find yourself traveling in the Arctic
While the wind blows
Remind them of me
Remind them I used to love them
If you travel through a blizzard
During the time when the river freezes
In the early fall
Make sure to dress warm
Make sure they are warm
I used to love them

Indigenous people must not disappear, we can only learn from them.
I also like Digawolf, a Dene band from Yellowknife
