Buraka Som Sistema are announced as the star of this year Open'er as a main star on world music stage. The wild beats of Angolan Kuduro music has been big in Lisbon clubs since the late 90s and Buraka Som Sistema - AKA Lil' John, Riot and Conductor – have fused it with 21st century electronics to create a whole new sound.


Now this electro ghettotech take on their favourite South West African music to the dancefloors all over the world on the basis of an album Black Diamond with sounds not many have heard before. Lil John and Riot began making music together in their teens, but the core of Buraka Som Sistema formed when the two began working with Angolan producer, Conductor, who brought along an extensive knowledge of Kuduro music . The three draw influences from the etno music of their youth and culture, fusing it with the inspiration taken from music genres as diverse as techno, drum’n’bass, break beat and dance music. The picture for Buraka, complete guest vocals from Petty, M.I.A., Pongolove, Kalaf, Nolay and DJ Znobia.
