The band was formed in 1984 by [[Claude McKenzie]] and [[Florent Vollant]], two [[Innu]] from the [[Maliotenam, Quebec|Maliotenam]] reserve in northern [[Quebec]]. The name ''Kashtin'' means "tornado" in the [[Innu-aimun]] language, but was also chosen as a [[pun]] on the [[English language]] phrase "cashed in", in response to friends who alleged that the band was selling out.<ref>"Kashtin - Innu Dawn Rising" by Alastair Sutherland, Music Express Vol. 145 1990, 44</ref> |
|||
==Career== |
|||
The duo quickly became popular regionally in Quebec, and in 1988 they were featured in a documentary on the Innu for a Quebec television station. They were soon brought to Montreal to record, and released their self-titled debut album in 1989. Although that album was recorded in their native Innu-aimun language, spoken by just 12,000 people in the world, the album quickly became a major hit in Quebec, and soon in English Canada as well, eventually being certified double platinum. The singles "E Uassiuian" and "Tshinanu" were popular hits for the band. |
|||
In 1990, the band toured Europe and made commercial breakthroughs there, most notably becoming Top 10 stars in [[France]]. |
|||
In 1991, the band released their second album, ''Innu''. That album spawned the band's biggest Canadian hit single, "Ishkuess". |
|||
For their third album, 1994's ''Akua Tuta'', Kashtin signed with [[Columbia Records]]. [[Robbie Robertson]] included the title track from that album on his album ''[[Music for The Native Americans]]''. Their songs also appeared on the soundtracks to the film ''[[Dance Me Outside]]'' and the television shows ''[[Northern Exposure]]'' and ''[[Due South]]''. |
|||
Following ''Akua Tuta'', McKenzie and Vollant each began recording as solo artists. They have not released another album as Kashtin, although they have continued to perform occasional live shows together. |
