This article examines ethno-racial minorities (especially Francophones, Blacks and Aboriginal peoples) in relation to the Juno Awards ceremony for the Canadian recording industry. After documenting how such minorities have often not been seen at the Junos, three arguments are made. First, the frequent absence of ethno-racial minorities can partially be attributed to the promotional strategy adopted by the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS). Second, ethno-racial minorities have challenged their general lack of representation through several forms of promotional opposition. Third, CARAS' response to promotional opposition has included efforts to secure an Anglo cultural hegemony
