The song reached the charts in late September in #40 and 7 weeks later #1 is the new home for the Buraka song.
This is how 2009 ends… let’s see what 2010 brings.
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.
