About Badi Assad, guitar
Badi Assad, the remarkable Brazilian artist, defies music genres with her voice, guitar, and percussion talents. She's known for singing while playing guitar and bass, using mouth percussion to create unique percussive sounds. Born in São Paulo, she pioneered the "one-woman-band" style, blending vocal percussion and body rhythms. After collaborating in Mulheres de Hollanda, she gained recognition through albums like Solo and Chameleon, despite facing focal dystonia. In 2020, she released Around the World, and in 2021, she featured on Arooj Aftab's Grammy-winning Vulture Prince. Her journey continued with Ilha in 2022, and is currently touring the world in support of this great catalogue of beloved and fresh Brazilian music.
