Farayi Malek is a dynamic jazz and contemporary vocalist, composer, and educator. A graduate of both the New England Conservatory and Berklee College of Music, she now serves as a faculty member at both institutions.

    GBH Music and JazzBoston celebrate International Jazz Day with Walid Zairi & Talween, showcasing original world jazz music that blends the oud and accordion. Oud player and Talween frontman Walid Zairi’s compositions are influenced by his Tunisian African roots and classical Arabic music background, with jazz elements layered in to create a fresh and energetic sound.
