Buraka Som Sistema
Buraka Som Sistema could be described as a “progressive kudoro” Portuguese band with a sizable following in England’s dance-music scene, but more important is this: The quartet cranks out electronic music that joyfully unleashes international club beats married with up-tempo, danceable, and energetic rhythms. The group’s most recent album,Komba, is supposedly crafted around the concept of the Angolan tradition of a post-funeral celebration of life, but its funked-up raves are anything but elegiac, fitting into the sort of polyglot funk being spun by taste-making DJs like Diplo and Ghislain Poirier.
