Inuk artist Riit finds the perfect mix of traditional throat singing and electronic dance music

Riit is a talented throat singer from Pangnirtung, Nunavut who now calls Iqaluit home. She's gearing up to release her debut album later this year, which was produced by Graham Walsh of the band Holy F--k. It's filled with pop lyrics in Inuktitut, throat singing and even field recordings captured from around Nunavut.

She performed her latest single Qaumajuapik and blew the roof off the Tisi multipurpose room of Inuksuk High School, where q live in Iqaluit was recorded.

Watch that performance below.
