Summary: <p>Belgian singer and songwriter Tamino is of Egyptian and Lebanese descent and has had recent success as a model. Comparisons to Jeff Buckley and Thom Yorke might be inevitable; his is a voice that feels like a cuddle, with an incredibly rich falsetto at his high end. That Tamino's vocal lines and riffs sometimes incorporate Arabic quarter notes and that he brought in a group of Middle Eastern instrumentalists, known as “Nagham Zikrayat,” to record on his debut, <em>Amir</em><em>, </em>hearkening<em> </em>to the so-called golden age of Arabic music from the<em> </em>1950s and '60s, might be no small part of his distinct appeal. Tamino joins us to play some intimate solo versions of his songs, in-studio. <em>-Caryn Havlik</em></p> <p><em>Set list:</em></p> <ul> <em>Habibi</em> <em>Tummy</em> <em>Indigo Night</em> </ul> <p><em> </em></p>
