FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Norine Braun Takes Audiences on a Travel Back in Time with Second Single "Hunting Buffalo"
Canadian Singer-Songwriter Explores Ancestral Roots and the Spirit of the Buffalo Hunt in Manitoba
Canada — March 1 2024 — Canadian singer-songwriter Norine Braun continues her transformative musical journey with the release of her second single, "Hunting Buffalo." The upcoming track is part of her highly anticipated album, "Journey Toward Wholeness," set to be unveiled in May 2024.
In a poignant connection to her Red River Metis heritage, Norine Braun draws inspiration from her second visit to meet her birth father and paternal family in Manitoba. The single "Hunting Buffalo" pays homage to the historical significance of Grantown, a hamlet where many of her ancestors took up farming after the decline of buffalo hunting.
The music video, a visual showpiece accompanying the single, captures the essence of the landscape and the cultural history that resonates with Braun's newfound identity. Viewers can experience the stunning visuals on Youtube.
Braun's emotional connection to the land beside the Assiniboine River is palpable in the lyrics, echoing the memories of her ancestors meeting to camp before buffalo hunts. The river, once witness to their gatherings and later the return with Red River Carts filled for winter, becomes a symbolic bridge between past and present.
"With closed eyes toward the sun, I could feel the ancestors. After a lifetime of wondering who and where I came from, I found them. I could hear them sing to me about a time long ago," says Norine Braun also expressing her gratitude to the First Peoples' Cultural Council for their support in this creative endeavor.
"Hunting Buffalo" is a musical exploration of heritage, identity, and the profound connection to the land. Norine Braun's soulful vocals and evocative storytelling promise listeners a journey through time, resonating with the spirits of the past and the essence of the buffalo hunt.
As Norine Braun gears up for the album release in May 2024, audiences can anticipate a rich and soul-stirring experience. "Journey Toward Wholeness" is more than an album; it's a testament to Braun's resilience and the universal quest for self-discovery.
