Soleil Launière brings us this new, intriguing, and daring soul-roots project that promises a deep and striking experience, fueled by Innu strength. On stage, with the seasoned musicians of CHANCES (Chloé Lacasse, Geneviève Toupin, and Vincent Carré), along with Simon Walls, she combines vocal harmonies and powerful percussion with performance art.
Named a Radio-Canada Révélation for 2024-2025 and a winner of the 2024 Francouvertes, Soleil Launière is a multidisciplinary Innu artist from Mashteuiatsh. In 2024, she was also an ADISQ nominee in the categories for Indigenous Artist of the Year and Indigenous Language Album of the Year, as well as receiving nominations from GAMIQ for Indie-Rock Album, and from the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame for the French Language Breakthrough Songwriter Award. In the fall of 2023, she released Taueu, her very first album, exploring the themes of language identity, femininity, and matriarchy.
