BURAKA SOM SISTEMA SUPPORT THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM WITH A BIG PARTY
Buraka Som Sistema showed their support to the National Football Team who’s leaving to South Africa for the World Championship with an unique live show. With tracks like Neneh Cherry’s “Buffalo Stance”, J-Wow’s “O Dedo”, “Gang Bang” feat Blaya (included on “Blood Diamond” Mixtape), the inevitable “Kalameba (Wegue Wegue)” and “Sound of Kuduro” the audience danced non-stop. Saved for the end was a big explosion of confetti that we could swear made the Black Eye Peas staff go nutts for a while…

BURAKA SOM SISTEMA ARE BACK ON THE ROAD
Ok! So we’re not putting in your face all the reasons that made Buraka Som Sistema “The band” to watch live since the mythic shows at Club Mercado, in Lisbon. But if for some reason you’re one of the few that still didn’t get the chance to take part on their sonic trip, here’s your chance!
After a six month break, the group comes back with a renewed will to share with all of us not only the songs we know from the Black Diamond album and the Buraka To The World EP, but also some other songs and remixes we’ve heard in FabricLive as well as “B” sides from singles like “IC 19” and “Aqui para Vocês”.
From what we’ve heard at the rehearsals (somewhere around Lisbon) we dare to say that they studied very well their past lectures, but since they always liked to avoid the easiest paths, we can say that the new season starting in May at “Queima das Fitas do Porto” will be loaded with musical surprises.
These last six months revealed pretty productive for each of their members: Riot created Faster Music, a Drum’n Bass, Dubstep and Grime label. J–WOW stepped into a some hyperactive work doing remixes and also brought us two singles, “Klang” – through Deadly People and “O Dedo” through Mad Decent. Conductor went on an trip to Luanda and came back with his second record from his Hip-Hop project “Conjunto Ngonguenga” and as for Kalaf, he kept dedicated to his weekly chronicles at “O Publico” newspaper.
And Buraka themselves still managed to present us with their brilliant BBC Essential Mix last April gathering five star reviews from the international press and opinion-makers.
We told ya, didn’t we???

Buraka Som Sistema winners of the EBBA Awards
Buraka Som Sistema won the 2010 European Border Breakers Awards (EBBAs) with the debut album Black Diamond.
The European Border Breaker Awards are given to debut artists or groups for their success in crossing national borders and reaching audiences outside their own country. They are given by the European Commission, in cooperation with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).
The Awards highlight the need to make wider use of the potential of the common market in which musical consumption patterns are still predominantly national in nature. Therefore they aim to stimulate the mobility of artists and the circulation of their work within Europe and beyond, as well as to raise awareness and appreciation among audiences of music from outside their national borders.
