In the mythic Paris venue, Belgian artist Tamino performs tracks from his intimate and melancholy debut album, Amir. Recorded on 19 November 2019.

"The Belgian-Egyptian songwriter was one of the sensations of 2017," De Morgen recently headlined. And with good reason. With only two EPs to his name, Tamino not only managed to fill every venue in his path (AB, De Roma, Vooruit), he also effortlessly packed the Rock Werchter festival. His singles aired widely on Belgian airwaves last year, and 2018 looks even more promising. Conquering Abroad - "Tamino has the most extraordinary voice we’ve heard in a long, long time," wrote The Independent of his time at Eurosonic - will be joined by a highly anticipated debut album. Not to mention yet another concert at AB.

Tamino is one of the most intriguing artists of the new Belgian scene. This artist of Egyptian origin weaves an intimate and delicately melancholy music, sometimes tinged with oriental influences. A haunting universe that fascinates from the first listen. We let you discover the phenomenon, from the top floor of the Institut du Monde Arabe.
