These guys are the shizz....been diggin this and Villa Diamante. First, meet Buraka Som Sistema....From their record label page (Modular Records)
Buraka Som Sistema materializes a new sound of Lisbon and the most recent Portuguese-speaking dance music bomb, kuduro. Kuduro is dance music from Angola, which pulses through the hometown of Buraka Som Sistema, Lisbon. However at its heart,Buraka Som Sistema is dance music, raw and pure.It is the meeting point for Portuguese Lil'John and Riot with Angolan producer Conductor, trying to make techno but being far far from Detroit. Joining BSS from Angola is Petty, an MC Lil'John remarks as having a voice which embodies the real Kuduro tradition. Another of the contributors to BSS is Kalaf, just about the most recognizable male voice of Portuguese modernity. Together as Buraka Som SIstema they make party, and they make it fun, and visceral, and intense and joyous, like an explosion of good times.
(Peep MIA showing up in here)
And then there is Villa Diamante A new type of music, called either Nueva Cumbia or Digital Cumbia. Downloaded a mashup done by him and love it. From Argentina, here is what it says on his MySpace page..."His style toes the line among hip hop, mash ups, mtv culture with shades of techno." check it out yourself. Here is where I got the free download of the mashup album
