Debut album by the frantic griot-punk trio! "They are as their name suggests, an act who strike unexpectedly. And they are sensational...an enervating wall of noise given a focus by the incredible presence of singer, the Burkina Faso griot, Kaito Winse.
The best kind of buzz." -- Louder Than War

Avalanche Kaito: a Burkinabe urban griot (vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Kaito Winse) meets a Brussels noise punk duo (Drummer/dataist Benjamin Chaval and guitarist Nico Gitto). It's a completely new alloy and a huge opportunity to deconstruct both traditional and futurist knowledge. It is the sound of the world as it truly is; an unruly and unforgettable sonic explosion created by the intersection of wayward travellers. The 4-song digital EP »Dabalomuni« (out January 21st) is Avalanche Kaito's opening salvo.

This 7inch marks a new step in an unprecedented collaboration. After Electric Mambo, a first 7inch (Electric Mambo, 2019) as spontaneous as possible since it came from the first live session at Café Central in 2016, followed by a long work leading to the muddy Vodou Alé in 2020, here comes the joy and light !

Viktor Perdieus (baritone saxophone), Giotis Damianidis (bass) and Jakob Warmenbol (drums) give us a first K7, paying homage to Oghene Kologbo. 

The two tracks were selected from the first meeting with the Ångstromers at Café Central, Brussels, recorded live in September 2016. Modular synths and other vintage electronic instruments bring another dimension to Chouk Bwa’s music, although obviously it is always the band’s groove and fluent tempo that leads the energy of the ensemble: no laptops, no drum machines. 

Contemporary Haitian poetry written in Creole meets full force with daring experiments on piano and voice. The culture of voodoo slips into the rhythms and melodic lines.

On his debut release, Maghreb United, featuring the singers Mehdi Nassouli (Morocco), Sofiane Saidi (Algeria) and Cheb Hassen Tej (Tunisia), AMMAR 808 offers a radical, electronic reinvention of ancient North African music. 

An unhinged and idiosyncratic mix of punk, jazz, afrobeat and all this with a hint of spirituality !

On his debut album Kaito Winse plays all the instruments, sometimes accompanying the vocals.The tama drum, the toutlé and the Fulani flutes and the traditional mouth bow accompany the songs addressed to Ancestors and newborns, and appeal to the force of planet earth. Traditional and spiritual techniques are renewed and unveiled on this album. 

Afro-Caribbean voodoo polyrhythms meet bass-weight dub electronics on Vodou Alé, the debut full-length collaboration between Haitian six-piece Chouk Bwa and Belgian production duo, The Ångströmers. 

This album strips things back to a power trio lineup and focuses on the crackling, forward-looking energy of Nigerien front man Anana Ag Haroun’s next level Kel Tamashek (Tuareg) rock songs. 

Embedded in rural voodoo and its three ingredients, drums, songs and dance, this debut album was made in April 2014 in the village Petite Rivière Bayonnais, close to the lakou of Souvenance
