Kelly Bado

Kelly Bado is a singer-songwriter originally from Côte d’Ivoire who now lives in Manitoba; her music blends her African roots with contemporary soul and pop sounds. With her warm, expressive voice, she creates a world where cultures, languages, and influences come together naturally and sensitively.
