Buraka Som Sistema (DJ/MC set, Portugal) - aka Lil' John, Riot and Conductor - fuse the wild traditional beats of Angolan Kuduro music with 21st century electronics to create a distinct adrenaline-soaring sound.
Genres like Carioca Funk are given a new lease and some dance-floor grease in this grimy electro ghetto-tech take on their favourite South West African sounds.
The band draws influences from the music of their youth in the Lisbon suburbs, fusing it with the inspiration taken from genres as diverse as drum n bass, hip hop and dance. A revolving cast of talents complete the picture for Buraka including past collaborations with guest vocalists/MCs Petty, M.I.A., Pongolove, Kalaf and DJ Znobia.
Quickly becoming renowned for their captivating live show, the band's unique and distinctly political sound has been corrupting dance-floors all over the world.
