Commitment to Inclusivity
Our dedication to inclusivity is reflected in our commitment to support those voices in the music industry who have historically been silenced or ignored. We acknowledge that the Blues as a genre is directly sourced from the Black experience and the legacy of slavery in the United States. We acknowledge that colonization has removed, reduced and erased the cultural histories of a large number of people and their musical traditions around the globe. We believe that Folk and Blues music thrives because it speaks to the soul directly and powerfully. Borealis Music will continue to support the art of musicians who create and perform this form of music.
Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that Flamborough is situated on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Haudenosaunee, and Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. This land is covered by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabek to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. We recognize the enduring presence and deep traditional knowledge of Indigenous Peoples with respect to this territory, and we are grateful for the opportunity to live, work, and gather on this land.
