Aleph Quintet
Aleph Quintet brings together five skilled musicians, among whom Wajdi Riahi, a young virtuoso pianist, avant-garde of the Belgian jazz scene, stands out. Winner of the Carthage Musical Journees in Tunisia, as well as the Prix de la presse Musicale in France, Aleph Quintet is one of the revelations of the Brussels scene, especially with their album Shapes of Silence, released in 2023 by Igloo Records.
The formation Aleph Quintet highlights the union of these five musicians, bears witness to its roots and traces the years of travel during which the group got together concerning this music. Without imposing limits and driven by its generosity, North African music mixes with jazz improvisation, Gnawa rhythms, Arabic classical and cultural Sufi music.
