Badi Assad shares her trajectory and several processes that led her to create her unique style. Sister of the renowned Assad brothers, Badi managed to follow a completely authorial path, where she mixes her classical guitarist background with the music of the world. At the same time that she transforms her guitar and voice into other instruments, she shares her path as an intuitive approach to technique and interpretation. In this unique workshop opportunity, Badi, with guitar in hand, will share her approach to techniques she has pioneered, her style, her method of song interpretation, and along the way give examples of her stunning playing.

Badi Assad is a fantastic guitar player, singer, vocal juggler and songwriter from São Paulo, revealed as one of the most complete and virtuoso artists of her generation.
