Alternative rockFolkPop

Dido is a Alternative rock and Folk act. Their catalogue also touches Pop. Their sound grew out of Youssou N’Dour, Nettwerk, Citizen Cope, Rollo Armstrong and Ibrahim Ferrer. Those roots explain a lot about how Dido arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Jewel, KT Tunstall, Melanie C, James Blunt and All Saints, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Faithless, Jason Mraz, Deep Dish, Rhythms Del Mundo and Darren Tate, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 35 connections around Dido, reaching back through Youssou N’Dour and forward to Faithless.
