BADI (LIVESTREAM)

Badibanga Ndeka, better known as Badi, is a Belgian rapper with Congolese roots. In 2013, he went to Congo for the first time. This journey led to the creation of his EP 'Matonge', released in 2015. Throughout his rich and diverse projects Badi uses both Congolese rumba and rhythmic hip-hop sounds. In 2017, the artist put out his first album 'Article XV', recounting the story of his father, who arrived undocumented in Brussels in the 1970s. On songs like 'Muasi na ngai' and 'Kitendi', he collaborated with Boddhi Satva, the founder of ancestral soul, which resulted in international acclaim. With an ingenious mix of hip-hop, soul, rap and Congolese music, and politically conscious lyrics, Badi has become a respected musician within the Brussels rap scene. Come and discover his multicultural universe at Les Nuits 2020.

The summer is going to be busy at Botanique! 16 bands and artists who would have played in our venues this spring or autumn will have the opportunity to rehearse on a large stage for three days as part of the artists in residence summer programme. At the end of their residence, they will play an exclusive concert that will be broadcast live on our Facebook and Youtube pages. It may not fully give you the feeling of a live performance, but this is the best we can do for now! Please make a contribution if you can; all the money will go to the artists. Support your local scene!
