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 Wardruna Kvitravn World / Fusion | Music For Nations | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 22nd January 2021 £25.00 - £32.00 Select options Wardruna Kvitravn £25.00 - £32.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: Music For Nations Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 22nd January 2021 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 From Africa With Fury: Rise World / Fusion | Because Music | 2LP Released 17th June 2016 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 From Africa With Fury: Rise £19.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: Because Music SKU: 5060421565026 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 17th June 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Fureys & Davey Arthur, The The Fureys Finest Folk | Telstar | 1LP Released 11th April 2024 £8.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Fureys & Davey Arthur, The The Fureys Finest £8.00 Genre: Folk Label: Telstar SKU: nn284389 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 11th April 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Goat Requiem (Indies Only) World / Fusion | Rocket Records | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 19th February 2021 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Goat Requiem (Indies Only) £20.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: Rocket Records SKU: LAUNCH220 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 19th February 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tinariwen Aman Iman: Water Is Life Black 2LP World / Fusion | Concord | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 4th November 2022 £36.00 Select options Tinariwen Aman Iman: Water Is Life Black 2LP £36.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: Concord Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 4th November 2022 Read More Select options 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 Adrian Quesada Boleros Psicodélicos World / Fusion | ATO | 1LP Released 3rd June 2022 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Adrian Quesada Boleros Psicodélicos £20.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: ATO SKU: ATO0596LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 3rd June 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Les Filles De Illighadad At Pioneer Works World / Fusion | Sahel Sounds | 1LP Released 28th May 2021 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Les Filles De Illighadad At Pioneer Works £20.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: Sahel Sounds SKU: SS063LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 28th May 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Erlend Øye & La Comitiva La Comitiva World / Fusion | Bubbles Records | 180g, 1LP Released 19th April 2024 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Erlend Øye & La Comitiva La Comitiva £28.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: Bubbles Records SKU: BUBBLESLP9 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 19th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Madala Kunene 1990: The Hidden Years Recording World / Fusion | Bella Union | 1LP Released 7th June 2024 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Madala Kunene 1990: The Hidden Years Recording £20.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: Bella Union SKU: BELLA1535V Formats: 1LP Released Date: 7th June 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in World / Fusion Start again
