Kaito Winse est originaire d’une famille de griots musiciens issus du Burkina Faso. Il est véritablement le messager de leurs traditions. Son premier album en solo, Kaladounia (‘Ici le monde’), s’inscrit dans cette idée de perpétuation et de transmission, entre tradition et spiritualité (et chant d’amour, J’aime t’adorer seul morceau chanté en français). Il a capturé sur enregistrement divers chants adressés aux ancêtres ou aux nouveaux-nés ou encore en prise directe avec la terre et en communication avec la nature, des chants soutenus par le tambour, l’archet et des flûtes traditionnels, d’une voix très touchante, particulière et puissante… Tout ici respire l’authenticité et la sincérité.KaladouniaKaito Winse

Bandé-Gamboa is a project made up of two All-Star bands, created to reinterpret extremely rare or unreleased tracks from Guiné-Bissau and Cabo Verde, a project explicitly dedicated to the living memory of Amílcar Cabral, the intellectual force and strategist behind the independence of both countries, whose dream was to have them forever united.The project was created by Executive Producer/DJ/Digger Francisco “Fininho” Sousa and produced by Guts, with the aim of bringing to light musical compositions that either never had success despite their potential, or were never released at all. The band comprises of only outstanding musicians from both Guiné-Bissau and Cabo Verde, mixing older and younger generations. The tracks from Cabo Verde focus mainly on stretching the possibilities of musical languages within Funaná, and the tracks from Guiné-Bissau are a modern take on traditional rhythm Gumbé, rarely seen in stages worldwide. The album “Horizonte - Revamping Rare Gems From Guiné-Bissau and Cabo Verde” is in-between a compilation and a band recording, joining the knowledge of decade-long research on the music of both countries with the talent and creativity of world-class musicians.

Musically the LP is a fairly unique collection of percussive afrobeat funk; the arrangements are brass friendly, slick on the keys and framed with a rich resonant deep soul vocals, the record also feature a finest example of African Reggae Roots cut to vinyl : "Tell Me Why You Cry" . This Lp is unique collection of music which until now has remained out of sight of a wider audience. Check out standout cuts ''Mama Wam'' , ''Hankuri'' & ''You Don't Love Me No More''In addition to the original release the reissue will contain "a bonus seventh track". During the mastering process we found an early test pressing of the LP from 1978 with an extra track on it… we put the project on hold so as we could remake the lacquer for the first side to include the mystery track..
