History and Influences
Burnt Project 1 was formed by David Boulanger in 2001, who has been extremely open in including everyone and everything in his music. In 2003, they released their first album, The Avenue, which included more than eleven musicians - one of which who played the sitar. In 2006, they released their second album, Hometown, which won the Juno Award for Aboriginal Recording of the Year. In June 2008, the band played a special concert at the Indian Residential School Museum of Canada, which was formerly a residential school itself. The Nanaandawe’iti Nagamonan: Healing Songs concert was performed and recorded at the Long Plains First Nation Reserve, located at Portage la Prairie in Manitoba. CBC commissioned David Boulanger to write compose a song dedicated to residential school survivors. His mother, Cathy Boulanger, and friend Duncan Mercredi were both survivors and participated in the song's composition. In the meantime, the band has played various gigs in Manitoba.
