Revered musician Wally Badarou breaks down some of the secrets of working as part of the Compass Point All-Stars with Sly and Robbie while also offering a fly on the keyboard view of recording Pop Muzik with Robin Scott and explaining why he refused to sign a contract with James Brown in his RBMA Melbourne 2006 Lecture.
Musician and producer Wally Badarou may not be a household name, but his fingers have jammed the synth melodies that grace some of the most memorable and irresistible songs in modern music. From Fela to Mick Jagger to James Brown, it’s way easier to talk about the musicians Badarou hasn’t worked with.

This was amazing. I watched every moment. The details about the production of Libertango were very precious to me. I've Seen That Face Before is such an excellent song. I have listened to it for over a decade and it still sounds fresh and classic at the same time, and I always notice something new about it.

[@synthsandstuff]

Wally Badarou has had a huge musical influence on me through bands/artists like Level 42, Grace Jones, Robin Scott etc. Also his solo albums are also a joy to listen to. A wonderful musician, humble but great in creativity and originality. Thank you Wally!

Great interview! God Bless Mr. Badarou! ❤️

[@spiritmusic4322]

The unknown track is - Its Over by L 42, I remember first hearing that ‘sound’ and thinking - jeez, what is that sound, now I know. Genius!!!

[@dmatzo]

Brilliant. Thank you so much for sharing. I sometimes feel guilty for wasting hours and hours on end programming sounds. He reassures there is an end result. It is time consuming but that is how you make your own style.

[@jamesstmanhattan]

This is an extremely, tremendously enlightening interview, but at the same time that's a shame that you've cut all the music out of the video, it crashes the whole feeling of presence, please don't do that.
