Watch Sultans Of String: The Power Of The Land / THE GATE

Juno Award nominees Sultans Of String have collaborated to create one of their most powerful tracks to date, bringing their sound together with the wisdom of Ojibway Elder Duke Redbird, and stunning vocals by Indigenous artists Twin Flames. The video is beautiful, with evocative lyrics, and it's inspirational. "The Power Of The Land" was originally written as a poem by Duke Redbird, and the way the artists have worked together is powerful, with a deeper story as well. "This is [part of] a project that is centred around the positive and ignored contributions of Indigenous peoples, refugees and new immigrants to U.S.A. and Canada," said bandleader Chris McKhool, whose Lebanese grandfather stowed away on a ship bound for North America a century ago.

"The Power Of The Land" is an early single from Toronto-based Sultans of String's upcoming seventh album, Refuge, which will arrive March 20, 2020. Sultans of String have tour dates in Ontario and Alberta until the end of 2019, including Toronto on November 8, and Banff on November 28.
