WAJDI RIAHI TRIO Mhamdeya – Album Release

The trio formed in Brussels in 2020. Wajdi Riahi and Basile Rahola met for the first time in Tunisia. They recorded two albums with the Baz Trio: "Live at Jamboree" and "L'homme Bleu", on the Fresh Sound New Talent Records label.

Meanwhile, drummer Pierry Hurty crossed paths with Wajdi, and the two began playing together on various projects, including "Moments" (Basile's latest album) and a duo project, "Riahrty." They have since become inseparable.

The powerful bonds that unite these three young musicians translate into a solid and coherent dynamic in their playing.

Following a proposal from Fresh Sounds New Talent, Wajdi decided to write a new repertoire for the trio. The pieces are both rhythmic, but also melodically and harmonically varied. Each piece tells a personal story of Wajdi's life, and this honesty shines through from the very first notes. The name of the album, Mhamdeya, refers to his neighborhood in Tunis.
