Background information
OriginOttawa, Ontario, Canada
GenresDance music, Throat singing, Electro (music)
Years active2017-
Members

Silla + Rise were a Canadian musical group based in Ottawa. Their album Debut was a Juno Award nominee for Indigenous Music Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2017.[1][2] Their album Galactic Gala was nominated for World Music Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2020.[3]

The group, consisting of vocalists Cynthia Pitsiulak, Charlotte Qamaniq, and DJ Eric "Rise Ashen" Vani, blends traditional Inuit throat singing with electronic dance music.[4] According to the group, the two seemingly divergent music styles have much in common, including how both involve some form of a battle between performers—i.e., whoever laughs first in throat singing loses.[5] Pitsiulak is originally from Kimmirut and Qamaniq is originally from Igloolik.[4] Pitsiulak and Qamaniq have been performing throat singing since 2005.[6]

In 2018 they performed at the imagineNATIVE festival[7] and in 2019 at Riddu Riđđu.[8] In 2021 they performed on FreeUp! The Emancipation Day Special.[9]
