kuduro
The debut album from Buraka Som Sistema is finally out on the London label Fabric: Black diamond. The 2008 song "Sound of kuduro'met MIA is on course.
kuduro has come over from Angola and Lisbon via the underground in Europe ended. the raw sounds and social / political texts engaged directly come from the slums and have a great party vibe. the crossover of electro with werelduziek seems to work (CSS, Diplo and MIA). hopefully kuduro is now launched.
Tip: Buraka Som Sistema is Saturday, February 28 to Recyclart
