Buraka Som Sistema - Black Diamond

Black Diamond by Buraka Som Sistema

Highly anticipated debut from Portugal’s finest export.

· Championed by Diplo, M.I.A, Santogold and Switch, Buraka Som
Sistema’s unique sound, a 21st Century electronic take on Angolan Kuduro
music has been corrupting dancefloors all over the world. Their electro
ghettotech take on their favourite South West African music fuses techno,
d&b, hip hop and dance music, as well as influences from their youth and
culture.
· Buraka Som Sistema formed when Lil John and Riot began working with
Angolan producer, Conductor, who brought along an extensive knowledge
of Kuduro music to the table. Enter Kalaf, the articulate, stage stalking MC
and the core of the equation was complete.
· Despite having only released one 12”, ‘Yah!’, in the UK, the band have
already received massive attention from critics and DJs alike.
· Guest vocalists include M.I.A, Kano, Petty, Pongolove, Bruno M,
Saborosa, Puto Prata, Deize Tirgrona and DJ Znobia.
· The album signals the first artist album release from the world
respected Fabric label.
