about

"Kaito got in front of the mic and recorded a long vocal in one improvised take, over an abstract electronic base. Benjamin then played with the material of Kaito's voice in many ways, as if Kaito had been singing in a distorted ice palace. The text is about the wisdom of animals, and therefore probably about ours too. The unexpected moral is that you should not step on a blind man's testicles twice."

lyrics

The meal of the cobra Language: Moore

Hohoho that's the way life is,
yes, life is like that.

If the donkey is going to strike us down, we can't catch its ears.
When the donkey is going to strike us down, we can't find its ears.
It is going to strike us down, we can't catch his ears.

If the child of the tiger does not climb the tree, we will not know this power that comes from its ancestors.

If the rainbird calls the Rain without planning its nest, the Rain will fall on him.

Hohoho, we can't know everything.
Heeee, we can't have it all.
If the donkey is going to strike us down, we can't have its ears.

It's the day the Thunder rumbles over us, that we'll know there are different angers.

If human beings betray themselves, they discourage themselves.

The one who throws you away is the same person who throws you back.
Can one know all the surprises of life?
Does the world stop existing?

The rain has passed, we can no longer have the same thing.

It is the day when the rain surprises us that we think of the dry clothes left at home.
We can't have them anymore, we have to finish the path.

The toad is the meal of the cobra.

Tomorrow is far, tomorrow is far, tomorrow is far.
Catch it and give it to me.

You must not put the toad's share on a roof.

You don't step on a blind man's testicles twice.
Hahaha, you can't.

You don't step on a blind man's testicles twice.

In French
You don't step on a blind man's testicles twice.

about

Avalanche Kaito Brussels, Belgium

A Burkinabe urban griot (vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Kaito Winse) meets a Brussels noise post-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. An unruly and unforgettable sonic explosion created by the intersection of wayward travellers. ... more
