DJ BADSISTA performs for the first time in Manaus

With works that circulate from underground to indie, BADSISTA has in the sounds of periphery the strong point, from funk carioca to ghetto and club.

After passing through more than ten countries, such as Germany, France, England and Mexico, the DJ BADISTA brings to Manaus, for the first time in the city, heavy funk beats, ghetto, club and techno in his show this Saturday (30/11), at the party "Pankda" partywhich happens from 9 pm on, in a shed on 100 Manaus Moderna Avenue, downtown, facing the Rio Negro.

The party, in its third edition and organized by two LGBT electronic music collectives, "Keloid" and "Uhsulas", brings to the capital one of the most sought-after DJs in the Rio-SP axis nowadays, even honored by the Icelandic Björk, who recently played a track by BADSISTA at Le Guess Who Festival, in the Netherlands.

Graduated in Phonographic Production, the musician, producer, and musical director Rafaela Andrade, born in Itaquera, in the outskirts of São Paulo, is better known as BADSISTA, or "bad sister" in English. She has heavy partnerships in her curriculum, such as the American Kelela, the powerful Elza Soares, the rocker Pitty, and also Jaloo, Linn da Quebrada, Mahmundi, Teto Preto, and LYZZA.

Awarded Best Music Producer of 2018 by the Women Music Awards, and nominated again this year, the DJ is also a veteran of festivals such as the Red Bull Music Festival in São Paulo and the CTM Festival in Berlin.

With works that circulate from underground to indie, BADSISTA has in the sounds of periphery the strong point, from funk carioca to ghetto and club, with highlights to the debut EP "BAD$ISTA" (2016), by Funk na Caixa de SP, and the recent "Não Encosta na Minha Brisa" (2019), an unofficial remix by Ludmilla. The collaboration with Jaloo, in "Say Goodbye" (2018), and the signature of the musical direction and production of "Pajubá", singer Linn da Quebrada's first album (2017), show the versatility of "bad".

Music Collectives

In 2017, by launching "Bandida", an all-female music collective from the periphery of São Paulo, BADSISTA wanted to give vent to the female protagonism in the scene. "I always saw the mines going through the most difficult times, the guys fooling around a lot to pay 100 reais (money), you know. Then I said 'let's do something only for girls and that's it'," he said, in an interview for Trip magazine, in May of this year.

A movement that has also been happening in Manaus. In the last year alone, the LGBT music collectives, including not only "Keloid" and "Uhsulas", but also "Colmeia", "Inpherno", "Coytada", "Antro" and "Tupiniqueen", produced more than ten parties around the city, both electronic and queer and black music, and in spaces also used to exhibit the work of these and other artists, from performances to photography, video, painting and drawing.

"We get together to have fun and express ourselves freely, with our own visuals, using clothes, makeup, performance, in a safe environment, ours, and also as a way to contribute to the scene and give prestige to each other's artistic work", explains Walter Juur, from the collective Inpherno and one of the collaborators in the organization of the "Pankda" party.
