Buraka Som Sistema - Black Diamond
What can I say, what a cool album. Coming from Lisbon’s underground Kuduro scene, which is basically "house music with programming inspired by traditional carnival music from the Caribbean and Angola" You know the sound, MIA is a big fan of this music and has recorded with them (she even features on the album) in Angola. She has stated that "It initially came from kids not having anything to make music on other than cellphones, using samples they'd get from their PCs and mobiles' sound buttons. It's a rave-y, beat oriented sound. Now that it's growing, they've got proper PCs to make music on.". Luanda Lisboa, their opening track throws you into what you can visualise as a mad and completely entertaining live experience. That’s all I’m saying of the tracks, just listen for yourselves. Fans of loud and unashamedly mad music will love this. I somehow doubt this will be on Ricardo Villalobos’ next mix.
