Buraka Som Sistema: Influences

Through the ‘00s, Buraka Som Sistema put their manic mix of kuduro, zouk and electro on the world map. Those global block party beats take cues from the raucous rhythms of Puto Portugues & Nacobeta and Dog Murras, but they also look to the jacking remixes of Major Lazer and A-Trak. “Warm Heart of Africa” reveals a relaxed blend of African beats and Western pop from kindred spirits The Very Best.
