Buraka Som Sistema are a freshly wrapped parcel straight out of Lisbon, Portugal that will be headlining tonight at FabricLive in London. A sound that will stimulate your daily audio in-take, Buraka Som Sistema (BSS) brings us a melodic mix of grime, hip-hop, house, and most prominently, Kudro.

The heart beat of BSS’s sound, Kudro — meaning “hard ass” for those of you who don’t already know –  originates from Angola, and has been huge in the clubs of Lisbon since the early nineties, mostly enjoyed by the migrant Angolan communities in Portugal.

Buraka Som Sistema have folded an exciting and genius musical blend of Angolan beats with contemporary electro, and the result is a unique, explosive sound; which arguably in the current climate of copy and paste artists is hard to come by!! Over a million views of their Yah video, BSS have been championed by M.I.A., Santogold, Diplo, Sinden, Switch & many more.Complimented by an amazing African dance troupe BSS are one of the most exciting live acts you’ll see are in London. Do not miss!
