Buraka Som Sistema @ Bowery Ballroom in NYC - pics
photos by Tim Griffin
"On Saturday night, we went to Buraka Som Sistema who are also a band that's more about getting people together and making them happy than anything else. Yes, they make amazing music but it was their attitude that really made the gig more enjoyable, I danced my head off, feeling alive and lucky and grateful... a feeling I intent to keep cultivating. It seems that when bands really come from a more positive place the fans respond with the same response. I will keep checking out this energy-theory in future shows." [You seeing, You believing?]More pictures from Saturday night's show at Bowery Ballroom below...
