BURAKA SOM SISTEMA ON TOUR!!!

Long awaited State-side arrival of Buraka Som Sistema. Portuguese-Angolan kuduro group that incorporates polyrhythms (can anyone say syncopation?) and traditional West African sounds/timbres to create some tunes that will make you move. Plus, the Portuguese vocals they often include are the definition of phonetic sex. Initially emerged out of the Lisbon club scene, they caught the eye(s) of Mad Decent Monarch, Diplo (we should all be so lucky). They've been found remixed, remixing, producing, DJing and collaborating ever since.
Check out a couple of my faves.

Buraka Som Sistema - A Morte Do Sonic


Lykke Li - Dance Dance Dance (Buraka Som Sistema Remix)


Dre Skull feat. Sizzla - Gone Too Far (Buraka Som Sistema Remix)
