Portugal's Buraka Som Sistema recently released their much anticipated sophomore album Komba last year, which they were describing as an exploration of the borders between life and death, and ultimately was a searing mix with their hyper-timed dance music approach. They are returning to North America starting next week, and just in time for their handful of shows, MTV Hive rolled out the premiere of the "(We Stay) Up All Night" remix from Montreal DJ duo Botnek .  In addition to a headlining show at the Bowery Ballroom in New York,  and the epic Holy Ship Festival featuring the likes of Diplo, Gina Turner, A-Trak, and more, Buraka Som Sistema will be playing Igloofest in Montreal, as well as Washington, D.C.  The new album is out now in North America.

More info on Buraka Som Sistema:

Being on the road solidly for three years promoting their highly acclaimed debut album Black Diamond has transformed Buraka from what was initially a producer's idea into a fully fedged band. Komba sounds like a band. An album ready to make thousands of people dance in festivals and clubs around the world. Songs like "Tira o Pe" or "(We Stay) Up All Night" have the perfect balance of electronic music and the live performance that Buraka have showcased to their fans in hundreds of shows around the world. The fact that Blaya (one of Buraka's most explosive live contributors) steps up to do vocals on two songs is the best example of this natural evolution. This shift takes Komba one step further on the group's quest to find their own sound and defnes them as being true explorers of the urban lusophone melting pot.

Komba is an album that fts together perfectly. All songwriting happened over 11 months with the starting point being a one month retreat in the remote woodlands of Monchique in the south of Portugal, from where the band brought dozens of beats and ideas. With a lot of new music on their hard drives, the band headed out to London's Red Bull Studios, where guests like Afrikan Boy and Roses Gabor came in to sprinkle the record with their own unique voodoo. Other guests like Terry Lynn and Sara Tavares, Kaysha, and Blaya , helped give the album its finishing touches.
