As in the previous post on the Ainu both paintings here also represent songs that were in last year's Top 100. Twenty-one repeats from the previous list seems about average. All three songs in which the Canadian (Inuit) Tanya Tagaq appears were also listed last year. Twice under her own name and once as a guest in the (also) Canadian band The Weaves. I did not paint Jasmyn Burke last year as I deemed the contribution of Tanya Tagaq to the song Scream by Burke's band The Weaves the reason for its inclusion then. Now this is different as the song comes in at #12 in the Top 100 2018/2019. Punk rock meets throat singing!
