These recordings, made between 1960 and 1987 by Jean Malaurie during many missions to the Far North, are intended to use their music to reveal the heart and spirit of the Inuit people, forged in a demanding environment.

The Inuit live in one of the world's most vast areas. From Siberia –their homeland– to Greenland, they occupy some of the most desolate icy deserts on the planet. Inuit civilisation has adapted to its terrible environment in one of the greatest challenges of courage and wisdom in human history.

Through songs and drums (warrior choruses, throat singing, poignant melodies), the Inuit bear wit-ness to their myths and legends, their identity, their hidden being and their strength in the midst of desolate spaces that would have driven the weakest characters to despair.
