Wajdi Riahi Trio

Born in Tunis and trained in piano from an early age, Wajdi Riahi soon found a universal language in music. After extensive studies, he settles in Brussels, where he develops a distinctive compositional voice at the crossroads of jazz, Mediterranean music and the folk traditions that have shaped him.

His playing, both sensitive and rhythmically intense, combines melodic depth with improvisational freedom. He quickly establishes himself as one of the most promising young pianists on the European jazz scene, recognised for his ability to bring together virtuosity and raw emotion, and as a sideman in numerous projects.
