One of the most exciting Brazilian artists of this generation, the talent of Badi Assad (Bah-Jee Ah-Sahj) seems to know no bounds. The extraordinary singer, guitarist, and percussionist has successfully forged an exhilarating genre of music – a blend of jazz and worldbeat that melds traditional styles of her native Brazilian music with an exotic mixture of ethnic sounds from around the world. With a Bobby McFerrin-like versatility to her voice and musical heritage that covers the breadth of Brazilian musical styles, The Los Angeles Times raved ‘Assad redefines solo guitar performance. Revelatory, a brilliant display of innovation, imagination and skill…almost hypnotically compelling.” Assad’s 1996 Rhythms was singled out as one of the most important recordings of the year, garnering a "Best Classical Guitar Album" from Guitar Player and "Best Classical/Fingerstyle Guitarist" from Acoustic Guitar. She joined jazz guitar legends Larry Coryell and John Abercrombie for the critically acclaimed Three Guitars album in 2003, and her Wonderland was selected among the 100 best CDs by the BBC.
