AVALANCHE KAITO, die "grrriot punk noise"-Fusion aus Griot-Tradition, Daten und Anarcho-Gitarre, besticht durch eine einzigartige Mischung aus Trance und Experimentierfreude. Seit ihrem Debüt 2021 bei Glitterbeat beheimatet, ist dieses herausragende Trio weltweit aufgetreten und die Aufmerksamkeit von Grammy und renommierten Medien wie KEXP und The Wire erregt. Mit ihrem für April 2024 geplanten zweiten Album versprechen Avalanche Kaito, auf ihrer bevorstehenden Europatournee weiterhin musikalische Grenzen zu sprengen (Stimme, Flöte, Tama, Holzbogen, Schlagzeug, Elektronik, Gitarre).
CANTENAC DAGAR aus Frankreich erzeugt hypnotische Sounds und repetitive Schleifen über korrodierten Echos. Das Duo nutzt Banjo, Beatbox, Glocken, K7-Spieler für rohe, folkige Musik mit punkiger, industrieller Energie. Geschraubte Klangvariationen, intensive Musiktexturen ohne Anfang und Ende
Das Konzert wird unterstützt vom Verband für aktuelle Musik Hamburg und der Behörde für Kultur und Medien Hamburg.
Someone has described Avalanche Kaito as “grrriotpunknoise”. Burkinabe singer Kaito Winse, the guardian of the ancestral griot tradition, rubs shoulders with the multiform approaches of drummer and “pure dataïst” Benjamin Chaval and anarcho-guitarist Nico Gitto in an explosive combination. The project seems in many ways unique in the musical landscape, managing to combine both a seductive trance power and a wicked experimental side.
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.
In 2022, Grammy commissioned Avalanche Kaito to make a live video that was broadcast on the networks of the prestigious institution. In March 2023 KEXP released a live session shot at ESNS in January and The Wire published a feature about the band. This year, the band continued to scour the festival circuit, crossing the Channel twice (Supersonic, End of the Road...). End-of-year highlight: WOMEX.
In April 2024, they will release their second album via Glitterbeat and be on tour again all around Europe and beyond.

Cantenac Dagar contains the past, present and future. The duo relies on a very personal base (a banjo, a human beatbox, bells, a K7 player) to create raw music, something folk imbued with a very punk industrial energy. Music without beginning music without end. The sound variations, the heartbreaking textures, the screeching sound, the screaming and distant voices, light up a huge storm throughout the concert.
