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???
