Parte de Tudo Isso

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.
