About

Farida Amadou (b. 1989) is a Belgian bassist and improviser based in Liège. Self-taught on electric bass since 2011, she treats the instrument as a source of rhythm, noise and open texture. She works across the European experimental circuit and has played with Peter Brötzmann, Thurston Moore, Ken Vandermark and Moor Mother, among others. In 2026 she tours in a power trio with Marc Ribot and Ches Smith, including a date at Prague's Palác Akropolis.
