Moose Town Singers

About

The artist

Moose Town Singers is an Atikamekw traditional singing and drumming ensemble from the community of Opitciwan in Quebec. The current Musique Nomade and Nikamowin artist profile identifies the ensemble as Moose Town Singers, names Opitciwan as its community, classifies its music as traditional, and identifies Atikamekw as its language. Festival documentation traces the group's formation to 2008 and describes summer travel through Quebec and Canada to share songs, drumming, and cultural knowledge at powwows and other gatherings. A May 2026 Quebec report documents Moose Town Singers from Obedjiwan performing at a school powwow, providing current evidence that the ensemble remains active. The two spellings Opitciwan and Obedjiwan refer to the same Atikamekw community; MusicList uses Opitciwan because that is the spelling on the current Nikamowin profile. The exact Spotify identity 6mu1qTHKSfJc5YrB4SidmN uses the name Moosetown Singers and contains two primary albums in the Canadian market. Pe Pasiko / When We Sing (Live), released in August 2017 through Tribal Spirit Music, contains fifteen tracks. Be Proud of Our Language, released in November 2022 through Studio J'en Regis, also contains fifteen tracks and includes songs such as Be Proud of Our Language, Singing for Our People, Warrior Stronger, 215+, and For My Daughter. Apple Music independently matches the artist spelling, both albums, and the same catalog identity. Pe Pasiko / When We Sing (Live) received a 2018 Indigenous Music Awards nomination for Best Pow Wow Traditional Album. Current Nikamowin, the 2026 performance report, Spotify, Apple Music, MusicBrainz, and Wikidata converge on the same Atikamekw ensemble from Opitciwan without a critical identity or location conflict. No current public artist-controlled professional inquiry route or member roster was confirmed, so MusicList leaves those optional fields unpublished rather than inferring them.
