We’re sure you all remember back in April of this year when the Portuguese juggernauts Buraka Som Sistema dropped their debut album, Black Diamond, stateside. The record, a grimy and explosive mission statement for their foray into progressive kuduro, took the music world by storm and even garnered them a MTV Europe Music Award. Now the DJ/production outfit has followed up their solid debut with a brand-new mixtape of high-energy African beats juxtaposed with slick MCing, huge basslines, and tweaked versions of classic songs, which they’ve called The Blood Diamond Mixtape. Buraka Som Sistema has made their new mix available for free download at www.buraka.tv. The eclectic 22-song tracklist can be found below.
