Today, Tamino releases an alluring, fantastical video for “Sunflower” off his acclaimed sophomore album Sahar. The surrealist video features Belgian superstar Angéle, and evokes imagery inspired by a love triangle depicted in short story ‘The Distance of The Moon’ by Italo Calvino.
Director Bastiaan Lochs says of the video, “Calvino writes about a love triangle between a sailor, the wife of his captain and the sailor's deaf cousin. Together they paddle out to sea at night and climb onto the moon with a ladder to harvest 'moon milk'. It ends with the lady climbing onto the moon while it is drifting away from earth and never coming back. In doing so she becomes one with the moon, the object of affection of the deaf cousin whom she's become infatuated with, and leaves behind the sailor who in his turn has fallen in love with her.”

Tamino will bring his ethereal vocal prowess on his Spring 2023 tour, including stops in Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal, following his SOLD-OUT North America/EU/UK fall tour and acclaimed sophomore album Sahar.
The arrival of Tamino is enough to make even an agnostic ponder predestination. The grandson of one of Egypt’s most famed singers, the great Muharram Fouad, Tamino came to the guitar as a teenager only after finding a rare resonator in his late grandfather’s attic. He plays it now alongside the oud, dual links to his cultural past that he uses to understand and articulate his emotional present. Born from Tamino’s Antwerp apartment and bolstered by collaborators including Radiohead bassist Colin Greenwood, producer/engineer PJ Maertens and drummer Ruben Vanhoutte, Sahar is a powerhouse sophomore effort that mixes Arabic folk and experimental indie rock with sweeping orchestral arrangements.
