Avalanche Kaito

(Glitterbeat) could be described as “grrriot_punk_noise”. Burkinabe singer Kaito Winse - surveyor for some time of the Brussels underground scene and last born of a family of Burkinabe griots -, meets the drummer / pure dataist Benjamin Chaval and the anarcho_electric guitarist Nico Gitto. Kaito, the guardian of the ancestral griot tradition, rubs shoulders with the multiform approaches of Benjamin Chaval and Nico Gitto in an explosive combination.

Supported by Glitterbeat (“Avalanche Kaito”, June 2022), Avalanche Kaito have been touring in many countries since their first concert in 2021, performing in famous venues and festivals. All over the world, their performances have earned them excellent reviews in the press. The quality and originality of the project seems in many ways unique in the musical landscape, managing to combine in its purpose both a seductive power and a crazy experimental side.

“Like all the best punk, Avalanche Kaito's music is confrontational and abrasive, but also playful and with a great sense of fun.” Songlines

“Freaked, juddering electronic punk.” The Wire

“….remarkable for the way it pushes into unexpected territories…. There are clear reference points for every track on Avalanche Kaito, both traditional and experimental in nature. Yet its particular blend is, at bare minimum, a road less traveled. The world may be getting smaller all the time, but as illustrated here, the sonic possibilities that come along with that are only growing.” The Quietus
