Buraka are back with a sophomore LP launching right from where their 2008 debut left off. The Portuguese/Angolan team bring their trademark party power, this time with a neat twist. It’s based around ‘Komba’, an Angolan ritual that celebrates the life of a person who’s just died, and so it bumps, grinds and bangs like there’s no tomorrow. Buraka’s ballistic bass take on kuduro comes cut with Dutch house, ghetto-tech and electro, and a generous dose of hedonism. It’s lent a visceral edge by a gaggle of guest vocalists, and the overall effect, when played loud, will have you dancing like your life depended on it.
