Buraka Som Sistema’s brash mix of Angolan-influenced techno brings a unique urban dance flavour to pop, so much so that some people have named their debut longplayer ‘Black Diamond’ (check it in the player) the best dance album of the year. It certainly is fun.

With huge support from Fabric, who signed Buraka Som Sistema to their label after a series of successful gigs at the London club, Buraka’s international profile has soared and now the full live band is set to play one of London’s more famous live venues, Scala on Pentonville Road on 12th February 2009.

The band’s new single ‘Sound of Kuduro’ (check the video) features M.I.A. and DJ Znobia and has already got over a million views on YouTube.

The band is supposedly one of the most exhilarating live dance acts around, and you can grab tickets to their Scala gig for just £8.50 here.
