Diplo has been in LA putting the finishing touches on the ‘Major Lazer’ album with Switch, hanging at Rick Rubin’s house, and spending a lot of time on Twitter. Then this happened…..
He doesn’t do too many proper house tunes but this one came out pretty well we think.

Sound of Kuduro
Friday, March 14th, 2008
New video from Buraka Som Sistema featuring DJ Znobia, M.I.A., Saborosa and Puto Prata. Stay tuned for their full length debut, “Black Diamond”, this summer. Their music sounds like nothing else on the music landscape these days. The fusion of kuduro (a genre of dance music from Angola), grime, hip-hop and house takes you from the suburbs of Portugal to the club. We hope that Basement Jaxx hook up with these guys to do something soon if they havent already. This track has the feel of “Jump and Shout” but takes it to the next level with the addition of these great international MC’s.
If you happen to be in the UK you can catch them at the following venues:
March 19th - LIVE AT HOXTON BAR & KITCHEN
March 20th - DJ MC AT YO YO, NOTTING HILL ARTS CLUB
March 21st - LIVE HEADLINE AT FABRIC LONDON
Here is another video from a past “Get Familiar” night at Fabric. Interviews with Diplo and Sinden talking about how they discovered Buraka Som Sistema’s music:
