Singer, songwriter and composer, So Kalmery is THE representative of this unique style which is at the same time a philosophy and a social and political struggle, but is also dance music. The name Brakka comes from "Bra", which means the start, and "Ka", which means "infinity" and also "the mind". The music takes its source from Eastern African tradition merged with urban influences. It has a triple rhythm (12/8) and could be likened to American Shuffle or even to early Ragtime. It is also a very physical and acrobatic dance, which often impresses hip-hop dancers. Brakka System is made up of ten songs in Swahili or in English with strong socio-political themes.
