Waves

2023 / Badi Assad

An album dedicated to Brazilian music, exploring the boundaries between classical and popular genres. It includes works by Heitor Villa-Lobos, Hermeto Pascoal, and original compositions by Sérgio Assad, reflecting the richness and complexity of Brazil's musical tradition. According to Sérgio, it's a type of music that defies categorization — 'some call it jazz, others call it avant-garde, but in Brazil we simply call it popular music.'

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.

Hatched / Singular
2015

Hatched / Singular

Hatched (U.S. release) and Singular (Brazil release) are the same project, launched in different years. The album features a repertoire mostly made up of songs by new voices in contemporary pop — like Hozier, Lorde, and Mumford & Sons — reimagined by Badi Assad with a Brazilian flavor. To her, these artists represent a return to philosophical depth in pop music.
