Insights from Steve: Badi Assad (Bah-gee Ah-sagh) is a dynamo.  She exudes excitement.  She is a unique combination of Brazilian bossa nova, singer/songwriter and world music.  She is a master guitarist, singer, and vocal percussionist.  She can actually sing and use vocal percussion at the same time. She is totally unique!!  Badi is best in a more intimate presentation (under 500 seats) or for exciting outdoor festivals or series.

Brazil’s Badi Assad is one of the most innovative, passionate and talented Artists of all times and is lauded as one of the world’s most unique and cross-transcendental performance artists of this generation. She transcends traditional styles of her native Brazilian music with a mixture of pop, jazz and world/ethnic sounds from around the world. She combines an extraordinary guitar talent, a unique mouth percussion, beautiful singing, combining a rhythmic body movement, to create an exciting, fresh music sound, and leaving spectators… simply… BREATHLESS. Indeed, watching Badi perform is like witnessing a spiritual phenomenon. How she does what she does all at once, and delivering an extraordinary performance, is quite unbelievable.
