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 Vieux Farka Touré & Khruangbin Ali World / Fusion | Dead Oceans | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 23rd September 2022 £21.00 - £22.00 Select options Vieux Farka Touré & Khruangbin Ali £21.00 - £22.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: Dead Oceans Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 23rd September 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Ibrahim Ferrer Buena Vista Social Club presents World / Fusion | World Circuit | 180g, 2LP Released 9th April 2021 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ibrahim Ferrer Buena Vista Social Club presents £25.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: World Circuit SKU: 4050538650013 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 9th April 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Yaaba Funk My Vote Dey Count World / Fusion | Sterns Music | 1LP Released 4th August 2014 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Yaaba Funk My Vote Dey Count £15.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: Sterns Music SKU: LPSTERNS1121 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 4th August 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Amjad Ali Khan Moksha World / Fusion | Real World | 2LP Released 25th March 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Amjad Ali Khan Moksha £22.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: Real World SKU: 0801051 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 25th March 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various The Rough Guide to Psychedelic Africa Psychedelia / Garage | Rough Guides | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 16th April 2012 £11.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various The Rough Guide to Psychedelic Africa £11.00 Genre: Psychedelia / Garage Label: Rough Guides SKU: RGNET1270LP Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 16th April 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Alostmen Kologo World / Fusion | Strut | 1LP Released 29th January 2021 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Alostmen Kologo £22.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: Strut SKU: STRUT234LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 29th January 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sheherazaad Qasr World / Fusion | Erased Tapes | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 1st March 2024 £19.00 - £21.00 Select options Sheherazaad Qasr £19.00 - £21.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: Erased Tapes Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 1st March 2024 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Ondatropica Baile Bucanero World / Fusion | Soundway | 2LP Released 10th March 2017 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ondatropica Baile Bucanero £21.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: Soundway SKU: SNDWLP092 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 10th March 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Experiencia Passo a Passo World / Fusion | Golden Pavilion | 1LP Released 10th August 2010 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Experiencia Passo a Passo £21.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: Golden Pavilion SKU: GRLP1002 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th August 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Midori Takada Through The Looking Glass World / Fusion | WRWTFWW Records | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released 26th May 2023 £39.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Midori Takada Through The Looking Glass £39.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: WRWTFWW Records SKU: WRWTFWW018LTDBV Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released Date: 26th May 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in World / Fusion Start again
