Information/Write-up

Charlie Panigoniak is an inuk songster. Here are my own thoughts regarding the tracks on this single.

"John"
This track is a bible verse John 3:16 in inuktitut. God so love the world, he gave his only begotten son, so that we may be saved.

"ITC"
This song is about a gathering of inuit officials meeting in Pangirtung about ITC. Today called Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (ITK) a national Inuit organization in Canada, representing four Inuit regions – Nunatsiavut (Labrador), Nunavik (northern Quebec), Nunavut, and the Inuvialuit Settlement Region in the Northwest Territories. A traditional inuit summer camp gathering "qaggimiuttut" drum dancing, feasting and celebrating a good seasonal harvest. Also an opportunity for inuit leaders met to discuss current issues with their people.

"Meepay"
A very subtle courting tune similar to "Courting In the Kitchen" - Irish drinking song.

"Ou Qua"
Hey Hey Hey Uupaa, ukuiliqmikmagu sunauva piqatiitakuluga.
