  • “Demand for the Nagamo catalog continues to grow across the CBC channels, with regular requests for access from our producers.

    We’re excited to embark on another 3 year deal with Nagamo, and look forward to hearing new tracks on the platform. Keep up the great work!”

    Tim Kerswill, Supervisor, Copyright Licensing & Research CBC

  • "I worked with Nigel on a very challenging and sensitive series called Thunder Bay for Crave Canada. Not only is he extremely talented, he also takes feedback and runs with it, creating pieces that surpassed all of our expectations. I look forward to working with Nagamo in the future."

    Leslie Lucas - Formerly eOne (Thunder Bay, CRAVE)

  • "I have collaborated with Nagamo for several years now on multiple projects and I found them to be a wonderfully responsive and a talented team and roster of musicians.

    As a director I appreciate their creativity and their ability to apply my direction and transform it into a musical voice for my films.  I especially enjoy how they take the curve balls of post production in stride with class and a constant sense of calm. 

    Nagamo has not only nailed it musically for my films but elevated them. I will continue to work with Nagamo in the future." 

    Robin Bicknell - Director (Nature of Things, CBC)

  • The Nagamo library is a growing catalog of original music, all from creators who self-identify as Indigenous.

    Each track is cleared for production and can be licensed individually on the site directly. If you need more than one track, contacting us to purchase a blanket license is also an option. This will allow you to download and utilize many tracks in your projects.

  • There is no generally accepted definition of 'Indigenous peoples'. However, a working definition is those who practice unique traditions and retain social, cultural, economic, and political characteristics distinct from dominant societies, begot through conquest, occupation, settlement or other means. 

    Nagamo was created in Canada and a majority of our music features First Nations, Metis, and Inuit artists.

    We recognize the global presence of Indigenous groups and are actively seeking relationships and collaborations to expand this definition of 'Indigenous music'. 

  • The Nagamo Library commissions original tracks from Indigenous composers, while also hosting existing composer catalogs. By licensing through Nagamo, you are directly supporting our contributing composers.

  • All the traditional sounds featured in the library are original creations and do not represent any ceremonial or sacred songs from any one specific nation. Each contributor knows their sounds will be remixed by other Indigenous composers and have given express permission to do so. This allows productions to utilize this music worry-free.

  • The Nagamo Library offers an online database that can be searched by a variety of filter options, including genre, instrumentation, mood, and density. As we continue to build the library, our options for searching by nation, tribe, or region will also continue to grow. Currently we offer searching between First Nations, Metis, and Inuit.
