Songoftheday: “Sound Of Kuduro” by Buraka Som Sistema
Artist: Buraka Som Sistema feat. DJ Znobia, M.I.A., Saborosa and Puto Prata
Track: “Sound of Kuduro”
Album: TBA
I don’t think I’ve ever watched a music video in its entirety this many times in my entire life. Seriously, this might be the coolest fucking thing I’ve ever seen ever. I’m actually going to make a really stupid statement right now, and say that this may possibly be my Song of the Year. I’m completely blown away by how awesome this is on every level. I don’t even know what to do about it.
Step back: Buraka Som Sistema (also known as BSS) is a Portuguese dance act; a combo of “Progressive Kuduro” artists Lil John, Riot, and Conductor. BSS’s EP Buraka to the World (feat. the track “Yah!”) was obviously just the tip of the iceberg for what’s to come from this group of beat makers. Their album, Black Diamond, seems to have a rumored summer release.
I’ll put that on my list of Anticipated Albums of ‘08.
I mean…holy fuck. I almost can’t contain myself. Are you fucking kidding me with this shit?

Buraka, are just great! It’s a shame that here in Portugal people don’t pay to much atention to their work.. It’s a fact tha they have more success outdoors..
