CloseMuntu Valdo’s music is rooted in the blues, mixing African traditions (he was brought up in Cameroon and then France) with striking modernity and technical mastery, building up layers of sounds with loops and samples. He was last at Warwick Arts Centre with Congolese superstars Staff Benda Bilili.
Vocalist, guitarist, harmonica player and percussionist, he was first discovered alongside some of the great names of world music including Ali Farka Touré, Manu Dibango, Richard Bona, Lokua Kanza, Eko Roosevelt, Lionel & Stéphane Belmondo, Keziah Jones, Alpha Blondy. His music is rooted in the blues, mixing African traditions with striking modernity and technical mastery.
His debut album Gods & Devils was described by NME as “a rapturous record that shudders with joy and passion.”
