Already trained in piano at a young age, the Tunis-born Wajdi Riahi soon discovered music as a universal language. It was only when he settled in Brussels that he developed a completely unique style: a mix of jazz, Mediterranean music, and the folk traditions that inspire him. Today, he is among the most promising young pianists in the European jazz scene, recognized for his ability to combine virtuosity with raw emotion.
Together with Basile Rahola on double bass and Pierre Hurty on drums, he has formed the Wajdi Riahi Trio since 2020, which has already released three acclaimed albums. Meanwhile, they are on stages all over the world, where they excel with refined and dynamic music - fueled by their different roots and shared energy. Critics praise the freshness and depth of the music, which manages to captivate both through its lyrical intensity and its generosity on stage. In short: well worth the discovery!
