Baam Bada

Baam Bada
Pushing doors and kicking out windows, this is not your traditional sound or your typical music pair.

The sound is smooth and soulful, yet vibrant. With each track, Baam Bada delivers a socially-conscious, lyrical flow. It is what you get when you mix Hip Hop, Electronic Dance Music (EDM), and Moombahton beats. Still, no big production is needed, just heart and soul. Baam Bada keeps it organic during live shows with a drummer, a turntable, and two mics.

The poets on the mics, Free (short for Freeflowin) and Decora (short for De Corazon, meaning “from the heart”) are the creative elements behind the name, sound and movement. The two have worked several years collaborating, writing, co-producing, and performing their music. The Panamanian Brooklynite (Free) and the Black-Bajan-Puertorican (Decora) who reigns from Newburgh NY first started in the Hip Hop group, The ReadNex Poetry Squad. The politically-conscious group, made up of five creative lyricists, dropped four albums and performed together for 10 years. While in the group, Free and Decora toured several countries, performing over 75 shows across the pond – London, Paris, Germany, Amsterdam, and Brazil, just to name a few. With the passion for music and the yearning of self-expression, Free and Decora decided to follow their love, this time as a duo.

The sound has an authentic pulse behind it – giving music a new life. Free and Decora’s new groove is just as unique as their culture, having your ears wanting more. Baam Bada is emotional music – an experience with a heartbeat, one you can feel. Blame the rhythm of the Free and Decora’s flow and their mix of EDM that keeps your body vibing. Free and Decora gain constant eclectic inspiration from artists like Michael Jackson, Diplo, Pink Floyd, Nina Simone, and Lauryn Hill. The diverse influence is apparent in their unexpected tracks.

When the two are not traveling and sharing their music with parts of the world, they are in the studio. Right now, Baam Bada has 30 new tracks in the works. Free and Decora have a lot up their sleeves this year, with new tracks and mixes, videos, and personal “A Day in the Life” footage. Recently, Baam Bada was a recipient of The Popular Vote in the Converse Rubber Tracks: In Search of Sound contest. This is just the beginning for the pair.

Overall, Baam Bada’s three-dimensional vibe gives the lyrically-inclined something to appreciate. Individually, Free and Decora are creative poets. Together, they are dynamically in sync vibrations; hence, the liberating sound of Baam Bada.

Infinite. Pure. Energy.
