Avalanche Kaito

Avalanche Kaito could be described as “grrriot\_punk\_noise”. Burkinabe singer Kaito Winse, the guardian of the ancestral griot tradition, rubs shoulders with the multiform approaches of drummer and “pure dataist” Benjamin Chaval and anarcho-guitarist Nico Gitto in an explosive combination.

The band was noticed from their first concerts in Belgium in July 2021. A real craze followed, which brought them to several European countries and to Canada during the following months, performing more than fifty times in festivals and clubs.

In 2022, the band released their first EP, Dabalomuni, followed by a homonymous album, both on Glitterbeat. Also performing in several showcase festivals like MIL or ESNS, the band generates a real word-of-mouth movement. Everywhere, professionals and audiences receive them as a new sensation. Many concerts are scheduled for 2023.

In 2022, Grammy commissioned Avalanche Kaito to make a live video that was broadcast on the networks of the prestigious institution. Recently they recorded a live session for KEXP. They also are the subject of an extensive article in The Wire.

The project seems in many ways unique in the musical landscape, managing to combine both a seductive trance power and a wicked experimental side.
