Jeremy Dutcher - Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa

Score: 8.1 

Just like last year's biggest revelation Rosalía, the Canadian operatic tenor Jeremy Dutcher mixes traditional recordings and chants from his ancestors and mix them with classical crossover strings and percussion to form a new kind of revisit to Aborigin American music as well as what it truly means to create folk music. It's a wonderful, awe-inspiring project that leads him to hidden corners of the mind and spirit, while painting unknown, delicately precious soundscapes. It doesn't matter if you aren't able to understand what he is saying; when emotions are this pristinely transmitted, music and art elevate and go beyond words and melodies.
