Love from Lisbon: Buraka Som Sistema
Tuesday, November 4th, 2008 running time 06:50
Lisbon, Portugal's Buraka Som Sistema breathes new life into a strange and exciting form of dance music from Angola.
Buraka Som Sistema has become a European sensation, thanks to their unique take on kuduro, a strain of dance music from Luanda, Angola. Most recently, the band has worked with M.I.A. to produce the song "Sound of Kuduro," currently making the rounds on YouTube and their newest album, Black Diamond. Kuduro originated with resourceful Angolan DJs—who managed to turn free computer sample sounds from outdated PCs into some of the most kick-ass and energetic dance music around.
