Tarek Yamani

Tarek Yamani is a Lebanese-American jazz pianist and composer known for his unique approach to fusing jazz with traditional Arabic rhythms and maqam (melodic modes). A self-taught musician, Yamani has carved a distinctive niche by exploring the intersections between African-American jazz and classical Arabic music. His work often reimagines Arabic folkloric and traditional pieces through the lens of complex jazz harmonies and improvisation, delivering fresh, cross-cultural soundscapes that appeal to both jazz aficionados and world music fans.

Based in New York City, Yamani has released several acclaimed albums, including Lisan Al Tarab: Jazz Conceptions in Classical Arabic and Peninsular, both of which showcase his innovative style and deep musicality. Beyond his recordings, he's performed internationally at major jazz festivals and venues, building a reputation as a leading voice in the global jazz scene. Whether composing film scores or performing solo piano concerts, Yamani continues to push the boundaries of genre and geography through his music.
