Ibrahim Trio

Ibrahim Trio is a unique fusion of three masterful soloists – Wassim Ibrahim (oud, vocals), Joachim Mencel (hurdy-gurdy, piano), and Szymon Madej (percussion) – united by a shared passion for blending diverse musical traditions.

Their innovative soundscape is painted with both Eastern and Western colors, creating a dynamic interplay of cultures and styles. At the heart of their repertoire lies oriental ethno-jazz, a genre that combines rich Eastern melodies and rhythms with contemporary jazz interpretations.

The trio’s eclectic mix of instruments, ranging from the ancient oud and hurdy-gurdy to modern jazz percussion and synthesizers, forms a sonic tapestry that is as intricate as it is spiritual. Each Ibrahim Trio performance is a journey through time, culture, and musical imagination, making them a compelling force on the global music scene.
