Elevating Chinese-Language / Mother-Tongue Based ​Music in Canada & Around the World

During JMF in Asia this year, we saw that many Taiwanese Indigenous sing in Mandarin, a parallel to how many Indigenous peoples of Canada sing in English.

Every JMF artist is on a journey to reclaim or reconnect with their mother tongue. JMF recognizes the importance of this work, and is actively connecting musicians and music-lovers who share these same lived experiences.
