Florent Vollant

Florent Vollant

Florent Vollant (born Labrador, August 10, 1959) is a Canadian singer-songwriter. An Innu from Maliotenam, Quebec, he was half of the popular folk music duo Kashtin, one of the most important musical groups in First Nations history.

He has subsequently released two solo albums. His Innu-language album of Christmas songs, "Nipaiamianan", earned him an apostolic blessing from Pope John Paul II, as well as the Juno Award for Aboriginal Recording of the Year in 2001.
