BACKGROUND

In December, 2022,ʔaq̓amnik̓ Students in the Grade 6/7 class worked for one intensive week with their teachers and industry professionals to write, record and release the song "Culture."

The professionals were from N'we Jinan. N’we Jinan began as a one-week intensive program for youth to learn about and acquire skills in sound recording, music production, songwriting, and performance.

The ʔaq̓amnik̓ students filmed a music video to accompany their song.

The premiere for the "Culture" music video is Wednesday, January 25.

You can hear the song NOW on Soundcloud! Click HERE.

Don't fret if you're unable to attend the premiere, as the music video will be available on YouTube for all to view after the official launch on January 25.
