Buraka Som Sistema - Blood Diamond Mixtape

If there was ever a band to capture the true rumble of tropic thunder, this is it. Buraka Som Sistema are Angola's answer to the Prodigy in a way.

Earthquake bass and bombshell beats explode throughout their work and around their many collaborators and their album Black Diamond is possibly my favourite LP of 2008.

Here is their latest offering, a bloody mixtape through Kuduro, Baile Funk, Dubstep and more inspired by and dedicated to the 3.7 million people in Angola, Sierra Leone, The Congo and Liberia who are believed to have died because of the diamond trade.
