Buraka Som Sistema, since the first time I heard them in 2008, I have been hooked on them.
Buraka Som Sistema is an electronic dance music project from Portugal, specializing in a fusion of techno beats with the African kuduro genre, and are generally credited with creating the 'progressive kuduro' variant and have been awarded an MTV European Music Award.
Their first release was From Buraka to the World, an EP released on the Portuguese label Enchufada, which include the single 'Yah!', featuring vocals from Angolan hip-hop MC Petty. It was followed by another Petty vocalized track, 'Wawaba', and a re-release of From Buraka to the World, expanded to a full album.
After touring in several European countries, including playing at the Glastonbury Festival and Roskilde Festival, the three producers released 'Sound of Kuduro' in 2007, which features rapping by M.I.A, DJ Znobia, Saborosa and Puto Prata. The track was a precursor to their second album, Black Diamond, which was released in 2008 by Sony BMG, followed by a new single, 'Kalemba (Wegue Wegue)', with vocals by Pongolove.
Years after many major hits and big events, in May 2011, Buraka Som Sistema have released their latest single 'Hangover (BaBaBa)' with a great video.
