Bio

Daada makes music for those who feel at home in many places β€” and in none. Raised in Tanzania by a Colombian mother and a German father, she grew up between languages, cultures, and rhythms. Her songs are a reflection of that β€” a magnetic brand of Pop infused with Afro and Latin that speaks in English, Spanish and Swahili.She wrote her first songs at seven, violin in hand. Then came her grandma’s old guitar, and with it, a never-ending love affair with songwriting. Since then, Daada has been telling stories β€” of love and identity. Somewhere between urban and earthy, with a unique voice, Daada’s sound is global urban pop with a heart β€” warm, danceable, and impossible to pin down. Rhythm rooted in movement and that transcends borders.Her name is derived from the Swahili word for sister β€” a tribute to connection, sisterhood, and cultural roots. Now based between Berlin and Bogota, Daada is part of a new generation of artists shaping the sound of belonging β€” eclectic, multilingual, and magnetic. You don’t just listen to her music β€” you find pieces of yourself in it.Daada's new EP, 'Corazonada', is a five-track journey into the instinctive pull of the heartβ€”five stories that unfold from following the heart rather than reason. The EP cements Daada’s Afro-Latin sound, weaving different languages and poetic reggaeton in tracks like 'Angelito', 'Facetime', and 'Tension', while also dipping into African instruments and rhythms and delivering a taste of dance energy with 'La sed' and 'Our song'. It’s a body of work that feels at once personal and universal. Listen here !

Bio

Daada macht Musik fΓΌr alle, die sich an vielen Orten zuhause fΓΌhlen – und doch nirgends so ganz. Großgezogen in Tansania von kolumbianischer Mutter und deutschem Vater, bewegt sie sich zwischen Sprachen, Kulturen und Kontinenten. Ihre Songs vereinen Pop, Afro und Latin zu einem Sound, der so vielfΓ€ltig ist wie ihre IdentitΓ€t – erfrischend, mehrsprachig, tanzbar.Ihre musikalische Reise begann mit sieben Jahren an der Geige, doch es war die alte Gitarre ihrer Großmutter, die sie endgΓΌltig zur Songwriterin machte. Ob Englisch, Spanisch, Swahili oder Deutsch – Daada erzΓ€hlt Geschichten, die von Liebe, IdentitΓ€t und Girl Power handeln. Ihr KΓΌnstlername Daada leitet sich vom Swahili-Wort fΓΌr Schwester ab – ein stilles Zeichen fΓΌr Verbundenheit, Empowerment und kulturelle Tiefe.Daadas Musik klingt nach Grenzenlosigkeit – irgendwo zwischen Serengeti, Karibik und innerer Heimat. Eine neue Stimme im globalen Pop, die nicht nur Songs schreibt, sondern RΓ€ume schafft: fΓΌr IdentitΓ€t, GefΓΌhl und Verbindung.Daada's kommende EP, 'Corazonada' ist eine fΓΌnfteilige Reise ins Herz – fΓΌnf Geschichten, in denen das Herz den Ton angibt, nicht der Kopf. Die EP festigt Daadas unverwechselbaren Afro-Latin-Sound, verbindet poetischen Reggaeton mit mehrsprachigen Texten in 'Angelito', 'Facetime' und 'Tension', greift gleichzeitig auf afrikanische Instrumente und Rhythmen zurΓΌck und bringt mit den neuen Tracks La sed und Our Song eine spΓΌrbare, tanzbare Energie ins Spiel. Ein Werk, das gleichermaßen persΓΆnlich und universell wirkt.Presave hier !

Bio

Daada is a German-Colombian artist raised in Tanzania. Now based between East Africa and Berlin, she makes multilingual, transcultural pop music. Daada first started songwriting at age seven and quickly took refuge in it to piece together a third-culture-kid identity. β€œDaada” derives from the Swahili (Tanzanian) word for β€œsister”. The pseudonym pays homage to the multiculturality that hugs her music but also to sister- and womanhood: cornerstones of her message. Expect delicate threads of pop and soulful singer-songwriting in English, Spanish, German and Swahili - all underpinned by catchy, danceable beats. She takes the stage with producer and good friend Maono.In 2022, Daada unveiled her first EP via Motor Music. It is a Spanglish collection of coming-of-age stories written over vastly different times and spaces, from Bogota to Berlin detailing first experiences of falling in love, desire and toxic relationships. In 2023 she unveils a new Afro-infused project with two Amapiano singles "Kiti" & "I'll See You" (listen here). Her music has earned Spotify and Boomplay editorial playlisting, airplay and interviews in Europe ( RBB Fritz (DE), Radio Eins (DE), Global's Smooth Chill (UK) ), and Africa (East Africa TV & Radio (TZ), TBC2 (TZ), Clouds (TZ), Nation FM (KE) ), attention from digital & print media (The Citizen (TZ), RBB Kultur (DE), Verdadera Locura (ES) ) as well as a nomination by Amazon Music Germany Breakthrough & All Hands on Deck as Top-6 Newcomer.Daada has performed at several Sofar Sounds and Festivals across Europe. This is only the beginning - with lots more eclectic and borderless music on the way in 2024.
