‘Reele Bumbou’ is Kaito Winse’s second album of powerfully delivered solo songs that lean heavily on the Burkina Faso griot tradition that he comes from. Whether sung in Mooré, Samo or French or accompanied by the mouth bow, tama talking drum or the Peul flute, Kaito’s multiple talents continue in the ancient oral tradition of passing along wisdom through musical virtuosity and positive proverb-heavy wordplay. In a time of global discordance and division, his music that seems to come from the beginning of time, holds a power that is both universal and mysterious. Read / Listen.
