𝘼 𝙥𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙢𝙤𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙣 𝙡𝙪𝙨𝙤𝙥𝙝𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙘 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩, Badiu by Dino D’Santiago blends Cape Verdean tradition with contemporary global sounds, affirming his role as one of the most vital voices in Portuguese music today.

Released by Sony Music, the album carries the spirit of funaná, batuque and morna into dialogue with electronic textures, R&B inflections and modern production. Dino’s voice stands at the centre, deeply rooted in heritage yet reaching outward with openness and innovation.

More than a personal expression, Badiu resonates as a cultural bridge, celebrating identity while engaging with wider musical landscapes. It is both a homage to ancestral rhythms and a vision of Lusophone music’s future.
