“Tarek Yamani, a piano in each hand.” — L'Agenda Culturel
Born and raised in Beirut, Tarek Yamani is a Lebanese pianist living in Berlin. He is dedicated to exploring the relationships between African-American jazz and classical Arabic music, evident in his second album "Lisan Al Tarab: Jazz Conceptions in Classical Arabic" and in his recently released album "Peninsular", which fuses jazz with quarter tones and the rhythms of the Arabian Peninsula. Tarek, who won the prestigious Thelonious Monk Int'l Jazz Composers Competition 2010 with his composition "Sama'i Yamani", was part of three global all-star concerts at International Jazz Day and shared the stage with the likes of Wayne Shorter, Richard Bona, Zakir Hussein, Esperanza Spalding, Antonio Sanchez, Brian Blade and Vinnie Coliauta. He has performed worldwide, including: at the Smithsonian Institute (Washington, DC), at La Merce Cathedral in Barcelona (Spain), at the David Rubenstein Atrium (Lincoln Center, NY), at the Boulez Saal (Berlin), at Dizzy's Cub Coca Cola (Jazz at Lincoln Center), at the MuCEM Museum (FR), the United Nations Assembly Hall (NY), the Gran Teatro de la Habana (Cuba), the Melbourne Arts Center, New York University (Abu Dhabi Festival), the Blue Whale (Los Angeles), the Detroit Institute of Arts, New Morning (Paris), Aaron Davis Hall (NY) and King's Place (UK), to name a few. Tarek also writes essays on the relationship between science and music and is the author of two books on rhythm. He also writes successful film music, which has been heard at festivals around the world, as well as on channels such as AMC and BBC.
