Laura Niquay | Waska Matisiwin

Waska Matisiwin: an album and show that have left their mark on Quebec over the past years. The great Laura Niquay, winner of Indigenous Artist of the Year and Album of the Year – Indigenous Languages at the 2022 ADISQ Gala, enchants audiences with her voice that has become impossible to ignore.

Laura Niquay is an Atikamekw artist from Wemotaci in Mauricie. She distinguishes herself by her incomparable voice and by singing in her native language: Atikamekw. Selected for the Polaris Long List in 2021 and one of the best albums of the year, Waska Matisiwin is a sensitive and grandiose work that reveals her folk-grunge universe better than ever. The show is festive and takes us on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, with the audience guided by Laura’s calm, authentic delivery, as she takes the time to convey the values of her culture. A nomad firmly rooted in her time, a quiet force forging a place for herself at the heart of Quebec’s contemporary musical landscape.

As part of Micro ouvert autochtone, the singer presents a grandiose, festive folk-rock show, accompanied by her 5 musicians.
