Dino D'Santiago – Badiu

Dino D’Santiago – Badiu

Released in 2021, Badiu is one of Dino D’Santiago’s most meaningful and expansive works to date. Inspired by the journey of the Badiu people from the interior of Santiago Island to the cities of Europe and the Americas — and ultimately to Dino’s own roots in Quarteira — it is a record shaped by movement, memory and identity.

Music here acts as a passport, carrying ancestral stories forward while speaking clearly to the present. Balancing poetry and lived experience, tradition and futurism, the album was produced alongside Kalaf Epalanga and Seiji, with contributions from Branko, Nosa Apollo and Toty Sa’Med. A rich, Afro-futurist journey: deeply personal, culturally grounded and full of hope.
