Kaia Kater/ ‘Grenades’/ Smithsonian Folkways Recordings

Known for her prowess as a songwriter and tradition bearer who performs with "the skill of a folk-circuit veteran" (Rolling Stone), the Grenadian-Canadian artist takes a decidedly different turn for her Smithsonian Folkways Recordings debut. What started out as a search to discover the roots of her identity became a physical and emotional exploration of history — in particular, her paternal ancestry — and has led to bold new heights of her imagination and creative expression.
