KASHTIN
Links
This was my first page and I used the blue background because it reminded me of a tornado - Kashtin's name.  It doesn't really "fit in" with the other pages any more, but I kept it anyway.
Links relating to Kashtin:
The Canadian Music Encyclopedia:  Biography and discography with notes from LeAnn Lis, last updated on Dec. 28, 1999.

"Solstice Rouge" - Announcement in French of a concert with Kashtin and other musicians at the "Festival Presence Autochtone 98" on June 20, 1998 in Montreal.  Website by "The Native Trail", 1998.  The page shows a picture of Kashtin on stage.

Lyrics and audio file of Kashtin's song
"Akua Tuta".  Website about "The Band", lyrics contributed by Jamie Shrope.  The website mentions "Akua Tuta" because it is included on the CD "Music for the Native Americans" that was produced by Robbie Robertson, one of the original members of "The Band".

Short
article about Kashtin in French by Val Morrison, 65th Conference of "Acfas" (l'Association Canadienne-Francaise pour l'Avancement des Sciences, the French-Canadian Association for the Advancement of Science), 1997.

Short
review of Kashtin's CD "Innu" by Bob Tarte, All Music Guide.  You can review this album on that page, as well as Kashtin in general and their other albums on this AMG page:  Kashtin. Don't get your hopes up, the clickable song titles don't lead to music samples.  I would dispute the reviewer's description of Kashtin's music as "New Age".
