Bassist, composer, and singer Mali Obomsawin (of Odanak First Nation) and her band deliver a captivating performance that feels both timeless and ancient. Exploring the dissonance of colonization and the sanctity of Indigenous lineage, Obomsawin's debut album "Sweet Tooth" offers a foray into Indigenous joy and struggle with folk songs from her community and modern sounds in the tradition of improvised music.
