Album review: Buraka Som Sistema – Komba
Oct 05, 2011 I Blog.
Buraka Som Sistema, to the uninitiated, are a Portuguese collective of vocalists and producers. Bursting onto the world dance music scene after the release of their 2008 debut album Black Diamond they took the Angolan style of kuduro, popular in the Lisbon club-scene, and fused it with techno and electro to pioneer a whole new sound of bass music.
Since then that sound has spread, morphed and matured, growing into an international movement whose influence can be heard in some of the world’s best known artists. They now have a Fabriclive mix under their belt and have toured the globe with their energetic live shows.
So it is with interest that we review their latest album, Komba. Developed over the past 11 months, the band started out in a woodland retreat in the south of Portugal working on ideas and demos before heading first to London and then Lisbon, to record vocals and bring the album together.

To be honest I really don’t like the Cloud at all, I have to admit I’ve only used it once and I didn’t like it at all. Although I didn’t give as fair a trial as I could have done really. It took me a long long time to get used to iTunes. The fact that its dependant on the internet to work puts me off a great deal as I do a lot of travelling and often don’t have the internet available to me.Harriet recently posted..Mobile Phone Exchange
