Buraka Som Sistema’s own DJ Li’l John put together a new, free mixtape featuring lots of fun things like Afrikan Boy’s “Kalemba” remix (below), tracks with Puto Prata, Aloe Blacc, and other familiar voices. The Blood Diamond Mixtape is free, free, and free.

Hey, remember when I said it was free?

Also, if you love fun (and live in Europe, for the time being), you should witness the utter mayhem of a Buraka show sometime before you die. Their upcoming dates are also below.
