Daada (a.k.a. Maike Valentina Kusserow) is a German-Colombian artist raised in Tanzania. Now based between East Africa and Berlin, she makes multilingual, transcultural music. She began songwriting at age seven, accompanied by her violin. A few years later she picked up her grandma’s old guitar and never looked back; weaving stories in English, Spanish, Swahili and German ever since.‚Daada‘ derives from Swahili for ’sister‘; paying homage to the multicultural universe that holds Daada’s music and of course to sister- and womanhood: cornerstones of her message. In 2024, Daada will be releasing a second EP created between Berlin, Bogota and Nairobi. Daada recently went viral on TikTok and Instagram in Kenya. Daada will take the stage at Surfana Festival, with Berlin-based Polish producer Maono!
