The wild beats of Angolan Kuduro music have been big in Lisbon clubs since the late 90s and now Buraka Som Sistema - AKA Lil' John, Riot and Conductor – have fused it with 21st century electronics to create their own grimey electro ghettotech take on their favourite South West African music. Buraka Som Sistema’s lyrics also have a distinctly political edge, referencing the inescapable corruption that goes hand in hand with the presence of diamonds and oil.
Buraka Som Sistema have also put together a new music video for their track “Sound of Kuduro,” which documents of their time in Angola. The track also features MIA and DJ Znobia and is a breathtaking insight into life on the streets in Angola. Check it out here: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=4CkXhtw7UNk
