http://www.insound.com/Buraka_Som_Sistema_Black_Diamond__PRE-ORDER_CD/productmain/p/INS53124/


To coincide with our US tour, we are having a 'Sound of Your Community' YouTube Dance Contest. Our Sound of Kuduro video celebrates the music, dance and culture of Angola, but for our trip to North America, WE wanna see YOUR dance moves. We wanna see what your community, culture and customs has to offer when it comes to showing the moves!
The winner will get his or her video played on stage during our North American Tour. The runner-up will receive a customized Buraka Som Sistema skateboard deck and a copy of Black Diamond signed by us

The full details can be found here:

Here's some nice things people have said about us!

“It's this intoxicating familiar-otherness of Buraka's half-barked, half-chanted, post-colonial, cross-pollinated, bone-shaking booty music that makes them just about the most exciting live act you could ever wish to see.” - Observer

"...one of the most jaw-droppingly effusive club moments I’ve experienced." - FADER

"...one of the fiercest dance records in recent memory.” - Pitchfork
