XLR8R, Hacksaw Entertainment present Buraka Som Sistema on Tuesday April 21st at Rickshaw Stop (155 Fell st- map).

This is an all ages event. Tickets are $14 on the door and $12 in advance here.

Buraka Som Sistema (myspace link) have taken west-African/Angolan music and fused it with 21st century electronics and in the process created a new sound called progressive Kuduro, and a whole lot of buzz to go along with it. They have worked with M.I.A. producing the song The Sound of Kuduro, their music has been played by DJs worldwide like Simian Mobile Disco and in 2008 they won an MTV European music award for best Portuguese act.

This performance comes immediately after theirs at Coachella to mark the start of their US tour. Don’t miss out on what will be an EPIC performance that is sure to sell out.

Support comes from DJ Sega (Mad Decent).
