Listening Differently: Anang Binesi on Music and Story
Season 2 Episode 7
In this episode, Winter Dawn sits down with Anishinaabe percussionist and composer Anang Binesi from Manidoo Bawitigong, Treaty #3. Growing up between powwows and piano lessons, Anang Binesi has always moved between two musical worlds. Now, as a student and emerging artist, he’s exploring how to bridge Anishinaabe worldviews with Western classical traditions.
Together, they talk about what it means to listen differently—to hear music not just as sound, but as story, relationship, and responsibility. Anang reflects on moving away from home to study music, the encouragement and challenges that shaped his path, and how identity and storytelling live at the heart of his compositions.
