2013 | Aboriginal Album of the Year (Sponsored by Aboriginal Peoples Television Network) | BURNT-Project1 | | The JUNO Awards

Formed in 2001 by Kiwizenz-Tawagun a.k.a. David Dorian Boulanger, BURNT-Project 1 established its heart-beat in the music community, creating a cultural mosaic of music with its two previous albums, The Avenue and Hometown. BURNT-Project 1 pushed through the scene and became recipients of a Western Canadian Music Award and the 2005 JUNO Award for Outstanding Aboriginal Recording of the Year. After eight years of writing and three years of recording, BURNT-Project 1 has released The Black List. The only one of its kind, sticking its neck way out there to say, “welcome everybody to this event, things are about to electrify, the ghosts in the back are gettin’ down, so everyone be good this time!” BURNT-Project1 has their feathers out and their moccasins tied tight. The Black List has everything imaginable on their musical palette, from horns to Latin percussion, from DJ turn tables/samples to traditional whistles. A melting pot of tribal, funk, jazz, blues, rasta-man reggae and rock makes the new voice of reason in BURNT-Project 1 echo across Turtle Island.
