Since his debut album Amir in 2018, Tamino has been treating the world to his reimagining of European and Arabic folk.
Belgian-Egyptian songwriter Tamino has given fans everything to be excited about, unveiling the first details surrounding his sophomore record Sahar, set for release on the 23rd of September.
As a condiment to the album announcement, he’s also served up the entrancing new single, Fascination. Capturing stunning melodies with DeMarco-esque guitar twang, the new track is one of his strongest to date.
Tamino is adept at playing a multitude of instruments, including piano and guitar, but for Sahar, he also learned to play the oud, an Arabic lute, with the help of a Syrian refugee living in his hometown, Antwerp.
Take a listen to the new single below.
On top of the exciting news surrounding the record, Tamino is gearing up to embark on a tour across Europe and the United States, playing 24 shows between June and December.
