Born in Ghana, Edward Buadee started his career at the young age of 16, singing and entertaining hours long shows with a successful reggae cover band. In 1984, he arrives in Ghent where he co-founds the legendary band SKYBLASTERS with Patrick De Witte (pdw). They make an incredible impact on the Belgian reggae scene, play Pukkelpop in 1986 and share stages with famous artists like Pablo Moses, Lee Perry, Bob Geldhof,
Jimmy Cliff, Youssou N’dour, Don Cherry, etc. until the band’s initial split in 1990.
Restless Edward’s solo career gets an immediate boost singing on the Isabelle A hit ‘Blank Of Zwart’ in 1991. Successful singles like ‘Decent Life’and ‘Gravity’follow, first with The Walkers and more recently as just BUADEE, but always with an amazing backing band of exceptional musicians, playing energetic shows, bringing summer party vibes to the hearts of so many.
In 2024, Edward returned to Ghana for a creative session resulting in the recording of a whole new album! It’s Not Too Late premiered in spring 2025 with a sold out show at De Centrale in Ghent, to overwhelming critical acclaim. Summer high-lights such as their show at Gentse Feesten (Walter De Buck stage) and the magical Helden In Het Park show can be relived on YouTube @ BUADEEofficial.
A must see on a stage near you coming spring, summer or fall!
