On his debut album, ‘Niineta’, he demonstrates his command of the Pow Wow style, descending from Indigenous singing that’s been heard across the waters of what is now called Minnesota for centuries. Depending on the song, his voice can celebrate or console, welcome or intimidate, wake you up or lull your babies to sleep. Each note conveys a clear message, no matter the inflection: We’re still here. We were here before you were, and we never left. Rainey grew up a Red Lake Ojibwe in Minneapolis, a city with one of the largest, proudest Native populations in the country. He was raised on the South side near Franklin Avenue, the post-Reorganization Act urban nexus of local Native American life. Rainey came of age in the heart of this community (also the birthplace of AIM), but always felt like he was living in a liminal space with the Reservation five hours North. At an early age Rainey started recording groups, and practiced dancing and singing. As a teenager he started his first drum group, and soon his voice grew strong enough to sing in Midnite Express, a new drum group featuring members of the legendary group The Boyz. They were professionals, city Indians travelling all over, repping their reservations and their neighbourhoods – competing for cash and cred, always striving to capture that ‘Pow Wow feeling’ of togetherness. Rainey was just as much of a fan as he was a participant, recording others then studying the tapes, cataloguing the different styles. On ‘Niineta’, Rainey finds himself in between cultures again, collaborating with producer Andrew Broder, who brought his turntablist sensibility to the project. The two of them met backstage at Justin Vernon’s hometown Eaux Claires music festival before crossing paths more through the 37d03d collective, and both contributed to the last Bon Iver album before partnering up. “At first I didn’t know what I could add,” Broder says. “I came to understand everything is rooted in the drum – even the songs on our record that have no drum.” Each song started with Broder’s beats, the two of them experimenting with various sounds and tempos before orchestrating and recontextualizing the ancient sounds in strange, new in-between places, also pulling from Rainey’s vast sample folder of Pow Wow recordings, layering in slices of his life. ‘Niineta’ is a short version of the Ojibwe term meaning ‘just me’, and Rainey is using the term only in the sense that he’s taking sole responsibility for the music. He is protective of Pow Wow culture – once outlawed by the US government and maintained in secret – while trying to figure out where he fits and how he can be creative with it. “These are my creations, but they’re Pow Wow songs, and our language is sacred,” he says. Rainey suggests conceptualizing the album as him working the door at a Pow Wow after party. “If I’m answering that door, I want to say, hey, yeah, come on in. But there’s fucking tons of us in here. It ain’t just me.” Artist Joe Rainey Genre World / Fusion Label 37d03d Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings jammer from the slammer b.e. son easy on the cide bezhigo no chants can key jr. flip turned engine ch. 1222 phil’s offering Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from World / Fusion View Product Quick View Ismael Rivera Con Sus Cachimbos Esto Fue Lo Que Trajo El Barco World / Fusion | Craft Recordings | 180g, 1LP Released 3rd March 2023 £35.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ismael Rivera Con Sus Cachimbos Esto Fue Lo Que Trajo El Barco £35.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: Craft Recordings SKU: 7242605 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 3rd March 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Willie Colón El Juicio World / Fusion | Craft Recordings | 180g, 1LP Released 6th January 2023 £33.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Willie Colón El Juicio £33.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: Craft Recordings SKU: 7242615 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 6th January 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists Horn OK Please – Road To Bollywood World / Fusion | Sony Music | 1LP Released 17th November 2017 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Horn OK Please – Road To Bollywood £17.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: Sony Music SKU: 88985472321 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 17th November 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Shorty LeBlanc The Great Shorty LeBlanc Blues | Goldband | 1LP Released 30th November 2022 £20.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Shorty LeBlanc The Great Shorty LeBlanc £20.00 Genre: Blues Label: Goldband SKU: nn254314 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 30th November 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Laurie Anderson/ Tenzin Choegyal/ Jesse Paris Smith Songs From The Bardo World / Fusion | Smithsonian Folkways | 2LP Released 20th December 2019 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Laurie Anderson/ Tenzin Choegyal/ Jesse Paris Smith Songs From The Bardo £30.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: Smithsonian Folkways SKU: SFW40583LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 20th December 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sheila Chandra ABoneCroneDrone World / Fusion | Real World | 1LP Released 16th June 2023 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sheila Chandra ABoneCroneDrone £25.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: Real World SKU: LPRW56X Formats: 1LP Released Date: 16th June 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mystery Of The Bulgarian Voices Featuring Lisa Gerrard Boocheemish Rock And Pop | Prophecy | 180g, 1LP Released 18th May 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mystery Of The Bulgarian Voices Featuring Lisa Gerrard Boocheemish £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Prophecy SKU: PRO228LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 18th May 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sergio Mendes Magic World / Fusion | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP, Includes Insert Released 30th June 2014 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sergio Mendes Magic £19.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1180 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Insert Released Date: 30th June 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists The Rough Guide to African Rare Groove World / Fusion | World Music Network | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 13th April 2015 £12.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists The Rough Guide to African Rare Groove £12.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: World Music Network SKU: RGNET1323LP Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 13th April 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Fela Kuti Sorrow, Tears & Blood Rock And Pop | Knitting Factory | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 28th August 2014 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Fela Kuti Sorrow, Tears & Blood £15.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Knitting Factory SKU: KFR20301 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 28th August 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in World / Fusion Start again
