Walid Zairi
- Instrumental
- Jazz
- World
Original world music combining oud and accordion. Zairi’s compositions are influenced by his Tunisian African roots. Romantic and elegantly energetic.
Walid Zairi is an oud player whose band Talween is aptly named after the Arabic word for coloring. Presenting a collection of highly pictorial original compositions, Zairi applies his experience as a musician and globe-trotter to create paintings on canvases, taking the oud outside of its usual conservative milieu. These musical pictures arouse the senses with melodies that are intense and gentle, creating a subtle mix of new world music, oriental sounds, and jazzy beats with a prominent African flavor.
