Badu might look like your typical black cat, but when his dad picks up a guitar, this feline becomes a blues sensation. Unlike most singers who spend years perfecting their craft, Badu seems to have an innate talent for blues music. As his owner strummed a hollow body guitar, Badu demonstrated his unique gift by meowing along in perfect rhythm with the blues riffs.
In a one-minute video, Badu’s coordinated meows punctuate the guitar playing, showcasing a surprising level of musical instinct. This feat is especially remarkable given how difficult it is to train cats, yet Badu’s performance was so on-point that it garnered 3.6 million views on YouTube.
The video, uploaded to his official channel “Badu the Singing Cat” on December 2, 2020, left viewers amazed. Comments praised Badu’s “purrfessional” delivery and effortless style, noting how rare and impressive it is for a cat to perform with such ease.
Badu’s owner, who remains anonymous, has shared a couple of videos featuring Badu’s musical talents. Another video highlights Badu’s folk-singing skills, showing his versatility. Despite the mystery surrounding his owner, who clearly knows how to deliver some impressive guitar licks, Badu’s talent speaks for itself.
Fans can also catch more of Badu’s performances on Instagram, where he consistently delivers solid performances alongside his dad. As for Badu’s name, it pays tribute to the American R&B singer Erykah Badu, which might explain some of his remarkable musical flair.
