Kaito Winse comes from a Burkina Faso griot music family, where from an early age he was formed in the tradition of his family and the region of Sourou in the north of Burkina Faso. Kaladounia means ‘Here the world’. As a griot, Kaito is the message bearer for the traditions of Burkina Faso. This debut album takes its impetus from the desire to perpetuate these traditions. The tama, the toutlé and the Fulani flutes accompany the songs addressed to Ancestors and newborns, and appeal to the force of planet earth. Many musical and spiritual techniques are updated and unveiled on this album. “Kaladounia” also takes its inspiration from the richness of human values and the need to communicate with nature. His mouth bow leads the voice and carries uplifting messages. His voice rises in Mooré, Samo or French and pays homage to women, to their courage, to love and to life. His album reveals the mastery of traditional musical techniques and rhythms, a spirituality rooted in ancestral values of men and nature, and a powerful and striking voice you won’t forget. This is the world, this is the place to do good things.[info sheet from distr.]
