Avalanche Kaito + Evil Will Prevail + Buckfast Tramp
* NEW SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT*
FROM BELGIUM AND BURKINA FASO - AVALANCHE KAITO.
“Mixing up the West African folk traditions of urban griot Kaito Winse with the avant-punk of Belgian guitarist Nico Gitto and French drummer/producer Benjamin Chaval, Talitakum is the second album of joyful noise from transnational trio Avalanche Kaito. It is both more cohesive and wide-ranging than their debut, hardened on the road but still crammed with rough-edged vigour. Their sound is a striking, molten blend that sparks and shakes with life. Driven by an unstoppable uplifting energy, this is a record in touch with music’s ritual power … This is a twenty-first century sound that contains and connects with the past. Afropunk futurism. The eternal ecstatic impulse.’ ”The Quietus
“… [Kaito Winse’s] stream of consciousness method of singing (where he converses with his ancestors) could be compared to that of original Can vocalist Malcolm Mooney, in that he is a single free spirit performing within an otherwise tightly disciplined group of musicians: drummer Benjamin Chaval and guitarist Nico Gitto erect rhythmic, electronically pulsed structures – with enough elasticity for Winse to bounce his extraordinary vocal around, through a selection of spoken recitations, bird calls and lyrical flute exhalations…..” The Wire https://www.theadelphi.com/.../avalanche-kaito-evil-will.../
