D Marie Lafortune is a Tkaronto-born/based singer-songwriter of Cree-Sami (Treaty 6), and Jewish ancestry. Like her award-winning studio CD, Beauty and Hard Times (2013), a prophetic, mesmerizing work, her new material is infused with the spirit of the “Tkaronto Mosaic” and the truth of resilience in the beauty of music.
Lafortune a.k.a Mama D, brings a wealth of experience and emotion to the stage. Her first CD, released in 1996 as in from the cold, was hailed as "an overall musical masterpiece" by Windspeaker reviewer K. Kanten. The remixed and remastered 25 th Anniversary Edition is being hailed in Canada and internationally as a masterpiece. The album is a testament to her enduring artistry and high standards.
