Pamyua's double album SideA/SideB is a collection of Inuit drumsongs primarily sung in the Yup'ik and Cup'ik language from Southwestern Alaska. Drumsongs are powerful expressions of Inuit creativity and connection to our Arctic environment. SideA/SideB offers a new approach to appreciate Inuit music. SideA (disc 1) honors Inuit tradition by featuring only vocals and Inuit drumming; SideB (disc 2) has the same songs with different world music arrangements.
This music video was made by Electric Igloo Creative in Anchorage, Alaska.
