CBC Manitoba is proud to sponsor the release of 'Her (204): Stories of One Great City Revisited'
An album is more than just a footnote in an artists' career - for many fans, it can also hold deep personal significance. And this groundbreaking album is also a celebration of a century and a half of our city's history.
Recorded during Winnipeg's 150th anniversary, 'Her (204): Stories of One Great City Revisited' is an extraordinary album created with a purpose. To provide an opportunity for local women and gender diverse artists to reinterpret iconic songs written in our the province over the past century and a half.
Featuring renowned artists Boniface, Andrina Turenne, Keri Latimer, Cara Luft, Jess Reimer, Keisha Booker, Kelly Bado, Rayannah, Jade Turner, Rhonda Head, and Desiree Dorion, the album explores the province's artistic history through a fresh lens. Each artist selected a Manitoba-penned song that resonated with them, delivering new interpretations of works originally by legendary acts such as The Weakerthans, Chantal Kreviazuk, Eagle & Hawk, Sons of the Pioneers, Sebastian Gaskin, Crash Test Dummies, Chic Gamine, Gloria Dejarlais and Benoit Morier.
