  • The Flummies are a Canadian Aboriginal music group from Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador. Their name comes from a traditional Labrador trappers’ bread (Flummies (flum`-meez`) n. - traditional Labrador trappers’ bread using a mixture of flour, salt and baking powder.) The group was founded in 1978 from members of the Best White Band. They have released several albums of traditional music. The Flummies are a five piece aboriginal music group known for recording and preserving the historical, cultural and traditional songs of Labrador. The indigenous influences of the Innu, Inuit and Métis have been intertwined over the last 250 years, to produce songs which tell stories of the people who have survived hard times and have seen all the beauty the Labrador landscape has to offer. Since the 1989 release of their second album, Songs of Labrador, The Flummies have sold thousands of albums and have performed around the province of Newfoundland and Labrador at many festivals and conferences. Included in their touring was a five show performance in Germany in 1989 and twenty-eight shows at the base of the CN Tower in June 1999. (en)
