Vincent Noiret

In 1996, he entered Bart De Nolf's class at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel and began to multiply his projects and diversify his horizons. He was seen alongside Alexis Tuomarila at the "Europ Jazz Contest" in Hoeillaert, where they received several prizes (4th overall, SABAM prize and prize for best young group).

It was in traditional music that he subsequently distinguished himself the most, participating in numerous projects with the most renowned musicians on the Belgian scene (Didier Laloy, Luc Pilartz, Pascal Chardome, Jowan Merckx, Ialma, Photis Ionatos, Steve Houben, Ghalia Benali…)

In 1999, together with accordionist Tuur Florizoone and clarinettist Kurt Budé (later replaced by Philippe Laloy), he formed the group Tricycle. They released several albums (Orange for tea, King size, Queskia, Zoom) and toured both in Belgium and abroad (Germany, Netherlands, France, Brazil, China, Vietnam...).

In 2010, he recorded his first album under his own name, Facing the Ghost, co-produced by RTBF (Didier Mélon - Le Monde est un Village).

In 2016, he released his second album "Inside Journey", the result of a journey of research into the profound effects and relationships that can exist between music, body and mind.

He continues to multiply more personal creations by investing in the Nisia project in duo with Sicilian singer and percussionist Emanuela Lodato. Together they recorded their first album entitled "Eredità", released in January 2014 by Homerecords.be, and toured as a duo, but also as a quartet in Belgium, France and Italy. In 2017, they released their second album "Pandora e cumpagnia".

In 2022, the third album, entitled "Li pedi", was released, focusing on dance and in particular the folk ball, mixing the rhythms and steps of dances found at home and in southern Italy.

Since 2004, he has collaborated regularly with Ghalia Benali on various projects. First came "Roméo et Leila" in 2006, then Ghalia sings Oum Kalthoum in 2010. They are currently preparing a second album dedicated to Oum Kalthoum, for which they are also working with Egyptian, Tunisian and Iraqi musicians.

Alongside these programs, Ghalia also explores other musical forms such as jazz and Baroque music with Romina Lischka, among others. He joined this duo in 2018 for a program entitled "A call to prayer".
