BURAKA SOM SISTEMA TO PLAY SELECT NORTH AMERICAN CITIES IN SUPPORT OF NEW SINGLE ‘RESTLESS’

“one of the fiercest dance records in recent memory” – PITCHFORK

“Buraka Som Sistema is currently the international face of kuduro” -THE NEW YORK TIMES

“…Dance music with crazy drumbeats you’ve never heard before” – SPIN

“…a cool beginning to a new sound.” – ROLLING STONE

“Credited with birthing ‘progressive Kuduro,’ this Portuguese foursome has been tearing up dance floors worldwide with their frantic electronic sound.” – URB

In early 2009, a kuduro phenomenon swept the nation and Portuguese superstars, Buraka Som Sistema, ushered in the movement. Now as the year begins to wind down, the band that became infamous for their live show at Coachella 2009 makes its way across the US to bring fans to the dance-floor for one more sweaty shake down. BSS will start the tour off proper at this year’s destination Halloween event, HARD Haunted Mansion,and wind their way down south of the border to play their first ever shows in Mexico!

Easily one of the most talked about and well-received albums of the year, Buraka Som Sistema’s debut full length studio album on Fabric Records, Black Diamond, was heralded as “one of the fiercest dance records in recent memory” by Pitchfork and praised by the Fader, Rolling Stone, XLR8R, Spin, Wall Street Journal, the New York Times and the New Yorker, among others. The band’s video for ‘Sound of Kuduro’ featuring famous fan MIA took the internet by storm, with over 2 million views to date, and by the time the band- Lil John, DJ Riot, Conductor and Kalaf- arrived stateside, those in the know knew not to miss their live show. Leaving no stone unturned or fan disappointed, the band came back later in the summer with their free followup mixtape, Blood Diamond, and now return this fall with what is sure to be the next dance floor anthem, ‘Restless’. Previously unreleased, ‘Restless’ will be available digitally this November.
