Some bands can go on hiatus, but Buraka is 4 Ever. With numerous studio albums, singles and mixtapes, which have solidified their revolutionary role in forever changing the Portuguese music scene, what their numerous enduring followers remember most vividly is their explosive and unmistakeable high-energy live show. In a time where those live experiences seem so distant from our present reality, it seemed all the more important to relive those moments of celebration where Buraka Som Sistema’s music truly came alive: on a massive stage in front of thousands of fans.
For the fifth anniversary of Buraka Som Sistema’s 2016 farewell show in their hometown of Lisbon, Portugal - and the 15th anniversary of their debut EP - we’re celebrating this important milestone by releasing ‘Buraka 4 Ever’, an album created from the recordings of this legendary concert where the band’s most iconic songs were last performed in front of a roaring live audience.
Scene anthems such as Kalemba, Sound of Kuduro or Hangover (Bababa), recorded live in 2016, were pieced back together in the studio and remastered to recreate the unforgettable live experience of a Buraka Som Sistema concert, now available as a live album on digital format and a gatefold 12’’ vinyl edition. To make it an even more exclusive experience, the vinyl edition also includes a reissue of the band’s first ever promotional 7’’ record, featuring the classic tracks Yah! and Sem Makas on purple vinyl.
