This track is guaranteed to get your booty shaking. It’s called ‘Hangover (BaBaBa)’ by Buraka Som Sistema and features a catchy ‘BaBaBaBaBaBa’ hook from when the group were in Rangel ‘City’ in Luanda, Angola, visiting some of their favourite Kuduro producers. Check it out here:

One of the band members, Kalaf Angelo, recalls about one of the producers they visited, DJ Znobia:

“He played us one of his tracks featuring Nacobeta, a local MC, where he used this hook and it immediately got our attention! We then used it in some of our early shows and the crowd loved it because of its simplicity and raw energy. While working on the new album, the beat we produced with Stereotyp had that same energy so it made perfect sense to bring it back for the chorus and close the cycle.”

It certainly got me energised to start off my Thursday morning. Go see Buraka’s blog – some interesting stuff there like this cover of Neneh Cherry’s “Buffalo Stance” they did for Dr Martens!
