I managed to catch Buraka Som Sistema at the St. Jerome's festival in Sydney this year and was blown away by their energy, interaction with the crowd and how fun they are. Great to see Dan Deacon involved, always a top-notch performer and it will be my debut experience so particularly excited about that.
