Tamino

New beginning for a memorable voice

Written primarily in his adopted hometown of New York, the LP marks a new beginning for the Belgian-Egyptian artist whose music has earned him collaborations with Mitski, Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood, David Byrne and an opening slot for Lana Del Rey. He’s headlined arenas across most of Europe and the Middle East and, as Bob Boilen once declared, Tamino “has one of the most remarkable and memorable voices ever to grace the Tiny Desk.”

Music that carries a deeper message

Though he was first inspired to learn guitar by his grandfather, the renowned Egyptian singer Muharram Fouad, the album’s arrangements are largely built around the sound of his Arabic oud. Tamino’s voice smoulders throughout, shifting from deep and sultry one moment to a shimmering falsetto the next. “Using music to convey deeper messages is key to what Tamino does,” The Guardian wrote. “It’s led many to compare him to the late American singer Jeff Buckley, but with orchestral arrangements that nod to his Arabic heritage.”

Intimate release tour in Europe

Produced by Tamino and longtime collaborator PJ Maertens, with co-production by Eric Heigle (Arcade Fire, Dawn Richard) and Alessandro Buccellati (Arlo Parks, SZA), and additional production by Chris Messina (Bon Iver, Big Red Machine), Zach Hanson (Bon Iver, Sylvan Esso), and Jo Francken, Every Dawn's a Mountain follows Tamino's 2022 album ( Sahar ) and 2019 debut album ( Amir ), and is primarily supported by Tamino's live band of musicians.

In March he returns to Europe for exclusive intimate release shows in Rome, Berlin, Paris, London, Amsterdam and Brussels before heading out on a North American headlining tour with stops at New York City's Brooklyn Steel, Los Angeles' Belasco, San Francisco's The Fillmore, 2 nights at Chicago's Thalia Hall and more.
