Concert Croissant #9
Join Wajdi Riahi on a journey through jazz, African and classical music. Born in Tunis in 1995, Wajdi studied Arabic music there before going on to study jazz piano with Éric Legnini at the Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles. He was a member of his hometown's Jazz Club and the groups Darimba and North Afrika, winning several awards including the Ahmed Litaiem prize for best soloist. Today, Wajdi Riahi shines with his own trio, uniting him with drummer Pierre Hurty and bassist Basile Rahola. Their latest album, Essia (2023, Fresh Sound New Talent Records), blends tasty jazz with gnawa, stambeli and African rhythms. For his solo recital at Bozar, the pianist invites you to sample the multiple influences that underpin his highly personal style, imbued with gentleness and emotion.
