Ilha
2022

Ilha

An original album diving into themes of renewal and reflection — as if, after a physical and existential shipwreck, the world found shelter and hope on a new "island." To build this symbolic territory, Badi Assad partnered with major names in Brazilian music from different generations — Chico César, Lucina, Alzira E, Dani Black, and Lívia Mattos — in collaborations that philosophize, through song, about what we carry into our inner island.

Around the World

A solo album celebrating cultural diversity through a sound that travels the globe — from Iceland to Chile, passing through England, the Arab world, and of course, Brazil. It reflects Badi Assad's global artistic vision and was recorded after the release of her first book Around the World in 80 Artists (Polen Books, 2018).

Solo

Solo

Badi Assad's debut in the American solo scene. Recorded in New York, the album highlights her versatility as a guitarist and singer, also marking the beginning of her innovative fusion of percussion—both vocal and physical—performed simultaneously while playing guitar and singing. It was with this work that Badi began to be called by part of the American press as "One Woman Band".
