Hailing from Lisbon, Buraka Som Sistema took hip-hop, techno, zouk from the Carribean and kuduro from Angola to fashion an irresistible dance music sound that quickly wooed anyone who heard it. Beginning in the early 2000s, Branko, DJ Riot, Conductor and Kalaf Angelo collaborated with local Portugues and Angolan artists before arriving at their kuduro distillation right as the global bass idea was taking hold across music blogs, dancefloors and festival stages. They soon attracted international and major label attention and collaborations with the likes of M.I.A. 

In this lecture at the 2008 Red Bull Music Academy in Barcelona, core members João “Branko” Barbosa (a former Academy alumni) and Andro “Conductor” Carvalho talk about global street music, the colonial and cultural links between Portugal and Africa and recording in Luanda.
