July 26, 2019 | Bob Boilen -- I was thrilled to have the gifted voice of Tamino gracing the Tiny Desk. But as charged as I was, that didn't match the excitement that Colin Greenwood expressed as we rode up the elevator. The Radiohead bassist (and bassist for this special performance) shared a brief text exchange with his son, basically telling his hugely accomplished dad that playing the Tiny Desk was "the coolest thing he'd ever done!" That made us all smile.
The attraction that brought Colin Greenwood and these other musicians to bond with Tamino, a young singer of Belgian, Egyptian, and Lebanese descent, is his voice; it's inescapable. For me a reference point is Jeff Buckley; they both have a way of soaring into the upper registers and into the ether; it's stunning. I first heard Tamino perform live at a convention center in Austin; he transformed and transcended the relatively soulless space.
The songs performed at the Tiny Desk by the 22-year-old singer come from both a 2018 EP titled Habibi and later that year an album titled Amir. His use of that falsetto had some faces in the NPR audience gasping in astonishment. There's a yearning in Tamino's songs that I don't often hear in popular music - he makes every vowel count. There's nothing casual about his expressions, whether he's singing about a sweetheart in the song "Habibi" or despair turned to joy in "Indigo Night."
Some of the inspiration for Tamino's approach comes from his heritage and in particular his grandfather Muharram Fouad, a well-known Egyptian singer known as "The Sound of the Nile." It was his late grandfather's old guitar that Tamino had first played. He got to know his grandfather's music through his cassettes. Tamino would later incorporate what he heard into his songs. It's ageless music that Tamino makes - it's melodies feel well worn, but it's also vibrant and intoxicating.

Nice of him to take a break from luring sailors to their deaths to do this concert.
This comment is too funny
lol it's true, what a voice!
but all of them look like pirates :DDD really cool pirates
No I think he is the sailor luring Sirens to their nets
Wait... so that's what happened to Jeff Buckley? And he transferred his life essence to this shapeshifting demon?
anybody with hair like that will guarantee ruin your life and have you smiling about it
update i saw him live last night, talked to him after the show for like 5 minutes and I am devastatingly in love
Na Ma how did you talk to him??
@@spacejamonblu-ray2841 he hung out at the back of the venue after the show and talked/took pictures with everyone there
@@XoxGlambertXox is he nice/shy what was his personality like ?
@@XoxGlambertXox I have never met the guy and I am also devastatingly in love.
He looks like ancient greek statues
not naked enough
yeah wtf tell me why he looks just like David
and sounds like a mix of Radiohead, Jeff Buckley and an Arab balladist.
I see it
It's an anime character thing. Jewelry, hair, clothes, ponderousness, etc.
This the type of dude to break your heart and make YOU say sorry.
A manipulator? Kskdjs
i would gladly say thank you if he ever were to break my heart
he's the sweetest guy in real life
I KNOW RIGHT?
@@malivanhie3742 is he really? I keep hearing stories (good things about him) did u personally meet him?
If tamino and hozier ever make a song I wouldn’t know what to do
Daniel Sastre now that’s something I need to happen!!!
THISSS
Yessss
I thought the exact same thing!! I get a total Hozier vibe from him.
omg
He sounds like an old withered vampire, singing about his tales of sorrow , bouncing his words off the high ceilinged castle in the sky on his last days . Pure talent . Amazing .
Damn dude, that's an awesome way of putting it.
I know perfect description.
That's *Alucard* singing about his life without Netflix.
He's like Jeff Buckley's ghost
@@albertmacsweeny4558 perfect band name. stealing it.
Really? No mention, in this comment section, about the bass player? It's Colin Greenwood... from the freaking Radiohead!
THANK YOU
Omg i didn’t see him at all
WHAT
Tamino offuscates the entire room. Couldn't see him at all
whaaaat
he shall sing at my funeral or i am not dying
This comment's hillarious😂😂😂😂
Seconded. Immortality babyy
I just discovered him, I have never EVER seen a man so beautiful, not only physically, but also in a vibe-y way????? help
Same 😍
Belgian breed !
Relatable. I saw a 5 second clip on a friend's feed and was like... Who is this man! Instantly drawn/ in love.
Jeff Buckley
@@olenatatomyr2333 hey you're right, his look is a little like jeff buckley's.
This guy steals my girlfriend and I wouldn't even be mad about it, I'd envy her.
Gusvx true
Me too
@@Pieter_Auper home boy just wants sum love
Pieter Auper, you seem mad.
You speak the truth sir
this man just ruined my life in 14 minutes
I will never be the same. My heart is broken
Your hamster profile ruined mine so cute 🥰
So this guy gets Colin Greenwood to play bass and no one realizes cus they’re too busy paying attention to his good looks and amazing voice. That’s talent.
Colin didn't recieved the applause that he deserves :(
I KNOW RIGHTTTT!
You mention his good looks first of all and then say that's talent?
This is exactly year happened to me. I’m a huge Radiohead fan but I just didn’t notice Colin until he got introduced cause I was so blown away by the performance of Habibi, especially that falsetto at the end!
he sounds like he’s speaking in ancient prophecies
He has this middle eastern, vampirian James Dean vibe. The music is soft and enveloping.
He’s Egyptian and Lebanese !
@@lolaseron5741 Egyptian, Lebanese and Belgium ethnicities
@@redegyptiancopt Offspring/descendance*
@@joatanpereira4272 oh oops! it didn't come in my mind.
I'm not an English native speaker, sorry
@@redegyptiancopt Nor am I a native speaker, just someone who cares too much about details. Have a nice day.
I’m not gonna lie, I clicked because he’s hot, but he’s also very talented. His sound is like if Thom Yorke and Jeff Buckley had a baby and I dig it. Thanks for always introducing me to amazing artists NPR.
Okay...ME
Buckley was the first thing I thought after 5 seconds
Well, Buckley had more vocal range and falsetto but overall he kinda reminds me of Buckley too so yeah
@@cem5470 I don't know man. This guy goes pretty low in Habibi and just as high as I've heard JB go. JB couldn't go that low, but this guy definitely can.
the Thom Yorke vibe is probably enhanced since Colin Greenwood is playing bass. :)
colin casually playing side gigs at tiny desk
He actually did the whole tour with Tamino!
Mtv: What are you?!?
NPR tiny desk: I’m you but better.
NPR is not the same was MTV what the hell you talking about
@@taurtue MTV unplugged
@@fvrs3411 they haven't done that in about 15 years. It's ok to be old, you can't help that, but don't get stuck in a past decade.
Who gave him permission to be this beautiful?
@@optimisticallytrying retorical question
His mother to his father
no one will, you do it anyways
God
@@flordelotus1052not real
I would literally kiss the ground he walks on
THIS!
Yes.
Same.
Little did we know the ground kisses him, with every step he takes
The amount of videos I’ve seen of this guy... it’s unhealthy.
Same 😔🤚
And i will do it again 🙈
i’ve listened to live @ acienne around four times; it’s a problem at this point

I had the pleasure of seeing him at National Sawdust in Brooklyn this week-- it was the best concert I've ever been to and I have no doubt I'll cherish the experience forever. The venue was tiny (250 capacity), and the intimacy demanded total silence and respect from the audience. There was no chatter or singing along during the performance, and you could hear a pin drop between songs. In fact, he was making friendly conversation with the audience between songs, not like the crowd cheered after his every word, like it was quiet enough that people would ask him questions and he would respond. His performance was absolutely enchanting, just as beautiful in person (I mean the music, but, y'know...), and he was so kind! I met him after the show and he was so sweet, I told him I drove 200 miles to see the show and he was so genuinely thankful. I've talked to several people from the show since and everyone I talk to has reviews just as glowing.
Great story! I really want to be in one of his concerts..
@@ivannna6891 If you have the chance you absolutely should! I don't know where you're located, but he's touring the US again this spring :)
Here in Belgium (where he is from) he plays big venues and even there for thousands of people, everyone is quiet you don't hear anything apart from the music. His concerts are the only concerts you can get that, and it's amazing. He WILL get you to tear up. I love going to his concerts.
Just saw him in los angeles and had the exact same experience. Most intimate show I have ever been to, his talent and presence was almost mind blowing. I’ll never forget it...
WOAH!!! Lucky!! COOOL!
thank you tamino for reassuring me that I am gay and redefining my taste in men
That fella just reminded me that I am definitely bisexual 😂
him and henry cavill make me so straight
Hahaha 😂
@@m.t.p.9684 me: “maybe I’m just a lesbian..”
Watches this
Me: “never mind. Definitely bisexual.”
Unfortunately I am straight as a razor.
No matter how many times I listen to Indigo Night it always manages to take me somewhere else. Tamino is an insanely great artist. Seeing him live is definitely on my bucket list.
His concerts are indeed magical!
He is AMAZING live! 💛
this guy has to spread most genes as possible in the world
I'm using this the next time I ask someone out on a date.
@@Hasan-ln5bw same 😂
sign me up for that gig
I volunteer, I volunteer as tribute‼️
0:00 "Habibi" {4:11 wow}
5:40 "Indigo night"
10:00 "Tummy" (Bass in this is nice)
mvp right here
thank u sir
Thank you so much!!!
ah so he is saying habibi and im not being crazy
Freaking ad On 4:11 hhaha
This is the first time I’ve ever heard of this man and he’s not allowed to be as beautiful as a Greek statue and also have the voice of a siren it’s not fair
dude that pianist has perfect locks.
for real
I have watched this so many times and never looked at the pianist till now. How did you get your eyes off Tamino lol
So much great hair on this stage
he's so handsome it's almost illegal
Habibi and Indigo Night are two of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard and it took me five years to discover. So glad mitski decided to bring this man on tour. He went from a complete stranger opening a show to being one of my favorite artists, that same night.
There’s so much darkness and grief in his voice and I love it
😭🥰😭🥰😭
Yet there's also light so.much.light
egyptians known for the sarrow and high euphoric singing .. he got the genes and his granfather is very known egyptian singer .. we do love him and now tamino .. artistic family
The melody of "Habibi" gives me the same heartbreaking, dark sensuality of some of my favorite Jeff Buckley songs
Which ones are they?? I would like to listen😍
yes!!! I was thinking of dream brother
@@user-um8uk1fh5p Dream Brother, also with a touch of Grace and So Real. DB is probably my favourite Buckley song, but the high notes in Grace, omg amazing, pure art.
I was also thinking jeff buckley !!
First song sounds like it could be a Bond movie intro
FINALLY! SOMEONE WHO HAS THE SAME THOUGHT AS MINE
It’s cool to see an artist, who’s relatively big here in Belgium, stand behind the desk.
Having Collin Greenwood there is a nice bonus too!
As a fellow Belgian, I can only agree! :)
@@W4LT3Rego I think so too! I saw the notification and couldn't believe my eyes :D Our Tamino behind THE Desk!
I’m astounded at the abundance of musical talent out of Belgium. Balthazar, Intergalactic Lovers, Gabriel Rios, Selah Sue, Stromae, the list goes on and on...
Glad to have seen him perform live for 200 men, probably won't happen again any time soon in Belgium. Oh, and once for about fifty in his studio :)
Er komt zo veel goede muziek uit België, we blijven een beetje achter hier in Nederland. Misschien moet ik maar verhuizen, dan neem ik wel de staat met me mee ;)
the scorpio energy in him is immeasurable
So real
Same as Jeff Buckley
He is a scorpio
Wow. Yes. As a Scorpio, yes.
he didn’t open his eyes until 5:00
It’s actually at 3:15
@@emilysheil4168 1:26
He looks like Mika and Timothée Chalamet combined and sounds like an angel. Lord have mercy on me
So true
OMG EXACTLY
He was giving me major Timothée Chalamet vibes, but he DEFINITELY looks like a mix of Mika as well
Idées Sur Papier YES!
Timothee + Louis Garrel
His grand parent is moharam fouad an Egyptian singer of great influence
His grand parent was a don juan
that explains it!😭😭😭😭
OMG that explains the voice, the presence and the charisma 😌 He got the best of his grand parent
Habibi was the deep vulnerable expression of heartbreak into sound ... what an incredibly powerful and beautiful performance
There is some sort of inexplicable magic with the rawness and nearness I feel when listening to Tiny Desk, it makes me feel almost like I am there.
Feb xjdhdhxjden big big shoutout to the people in charge of audio, it's always amazing
In charge of audio??? It's nothing short of black magic i tell ya!
@Andy Gonzalez True hero
Damn... he's good, amazing vocal range, looks smoking good, lyrics on fleek... never heard of him before... gives me a Buckley vibe, new fan over here!
Buckley was my first thought, a second after seeing him.
He's super talented! He gave the Buckley vibes too at first but I guess now after listening to him for months, I see them as a toyally different and precious thing, each owning my heart nevertheless.
At first listen, it's like Radiohead mixed with Jeff Buckley
twmusicoustic and a pinch of Nick Cave..........
I clicked the video cause he does look like Jeff, came here looking for anyone with a similar opinion and here it is hehe.
with some middle eastern music moments here and there
ramft89 the mention it in the description (not that he looks like him but..)
I'm picking up on more Muse than Radiohead personally
I wished he talked more, explained a bit the meaning of some songs or what not... I saw him in concert and he was very charismatic!!
Although he isn't the most talkative of people, he does give interesting interviews and explains the meaning of the lyrics to a certain extent. He likes his texts to be a bit mysterious so everyone can find their own meaning in it.
When he hit that high register I felt like screaming out, "Marry me!"
Imagine him doing a cover of Lana’s, Salvatore… like I need it
We NEED it
He did marinerw apartment complex and blue jeans !
FINALLY=))) His mix of arabic and western melodies are perfect! Check out his tame impala cover too, it's amazing
This dude has amazing eyelashes
Because this guy from Egypt.
As someone who makes songs, I feel incredibly inspired and intimidated.
Same here haha
At 4:19 I said a slow woooow. Right after my 5 y.o. says "He's about to make me cry. I reply what,thinking she's watching her tablet. She points at the TV. l ask why. She says "It's just so beautiful." At 8:15 she says "I really want a guitar. It's just so beautiful." (She's been asking for a while). Warms my heart how much my Little One loves music and dancing. Thank you for the introduction NPR. Tamino's voice truly is beautiful. The band is lovely.
Get that girl a guitar!
Totally happened
@@ALittleLifeWithDriedTubers I definitely am! 😄
@@teiganbowman1896 she's probably a virtuoso by now and the whole room clapped
@@EboJ13 How is she doing now? I'm so happy she liked Tamino :D
that bassist is pretty good he should start a band
Don't compare Tamino to anyone else. Guy is unique. I live for his art ✨
Yes yes and yes.
He's what would happen if the dark academia aesthetic and an eboy had a child.
You captured the *🌠essence🌠*
now that explains why i find him so aesthetically pleasing
I'm glad everyone's too busy fangirling over harry styles so I don't have to share Tamino with too many people ❤️
I hate to do this to you but I am fangirling over both of them
@@emmanuelad.2891 at least there's not many of you 😂❤️
@@AM257. oh yes hopefully for both of us
@@emmanuelad.2891 i am one of you
@@daisee12 yes! we can start a club at this pace.
9:53 "it's called ₜᵤₘₘᵧ"
I'm in love with this man
Love his singing style, following Middle Eastern melody, mixed with Western style.
If Leonard Cohen had greater range, he would sound like this. Tamino is a poet and a musician. So gentle.
this is sad, but a hot sad : ¨
he’s giving me big mansion vibes with all white walls, concrete floors, minimal furniture and a big piano in the center of the home!!
4:19 it was at that moment that I KNEW he’s the main character
coming for Colin Greenwood, stay because of Tamino
His cupid's bow is so sharp it'd make anyone he kisses, bleed.
came for Greenwood stayed for Tamino
I LOVE Tiny Desk Concerts because they give me the ability to find artists I normally wouldn't have come across in my day to day activities.
Thank you for giving us the ability watch our favorite artists while also exposing us to artists we have never heard of before.
What a sweet moment @ 10:20. 😊 It’s almost as if Tomino is looking back at Colin for reassurance that everything sounds ok. When Colin gives the 😉👍🏻 it was like a proud a Dad. So sweet. Love them all.
So enchanting 😮 I knew he was a Scorpio before looking at his birthday. The creativity and the romanticism
he can have my soul my un born children and anything else he wants
Indigo Night is by far one of the most beautiful vocal pieces of music I have ever heard.
his facial expressions made my heart just hurt so much because of the pure unfiltered PASSION on his face and his voice was much softer than i expected
10:21 that little interaction between Tamino and Colin is just so pure, it brings me so much joy. :))
COLIN GREENWOOD!!!!!!!! I couldn't stop looking at him.
this guy's giving me jeff buckley-y vibes and I LOVE IT
i just oppened the video because he looks like him
YES and I love it too. So much.
Jay-Jay Johanson vibe for me
Wild how that's straight up his live vocals
This guy's got such an interesting sound. Love this.
Check out Jeff Buckley, the influence is very clear, I think you'll like his stuff.
When he sings I think I can finally see magic with its touch of gold and darkness, I think I can believe in angels falling from the sky with their pure feathers tainted with carnal delights, I think I can pray to forgotten Gods caged in ruined temples. He creates fantasy stories.
It is a pleasure to see Colin Greenwood working with such a young talent, keep going making good music Tamino!
I literally just woke up and I click this video and I'm not mad
jetrm same here lol
i am in love with this man. if him and hozier ever made a song together, i would simply ascend
Radiohead vibes af
He’s the the type of guy that could break my heart a million times, I’d still love him and say it was my fault❤️
This is the video that made me fall in love with Tamino. When it ended, I sat there in silence, moved by what had I experienced. Last weekend I finally got to see him live. Although I have listened to his songs a million times, it felt just like the first time. I feel so lucky to exist in the same century as he does. I am sure that his music is something God has created for me.
I’m from Antwerp, like him, and I saw him perform twice. First was in an intimate, 1.500 venue (unfilled) concert hall and last week it was a 8.050 venue, basically sold out arena. I am so proud he’s made this much impact!
Ive enjoy his music for a bit and just recently went to his concert in Chicago. The way he interacts with his fans is so minimal yet so defining. He's got a genuine, cool, and kind personality. I really hope more people recognize his music and dont ruin his up and coming fame in America. Cuz he's got a rare soul and passion for his music and roots that ive ever seen.
His voice gives me goosebumps.
And from his songs I also get the vibe of the movie 'Only Lovers Left Alive'.
I'm just hypnotised by him..
The comment section makes this even better
He just looked like someone who would have a wonderful voice when I clicked on this. How right I was
This is killer. Jacob Collier spends 10 years mastering jazz, just to have this cool drink of water walk in and steal the show.
No words to describe him and his music!
Everyone has to check out his cover of Tame Impala's "Let it Happen". Just magical.
Look at him! He knows he's gorgeous and now he's just showing off with that angelic voice !
Tamino, duuuude... Your vocals are INSANE! And your music is so moving.
Two years counting. I don't have words to you Tamino.
I'd love to hear him tackle some Buckley, this kid is tremendous.
He so handsome. And his voice 😥🔥🔥😤❤😎💯
So excited about this man's music. He's brilliant. "Indigo Night Live at Ancienne Belgique
" is truly remarkable.
one of the best voices in the last years
Saw this video in my recommendations a few days back and, not knowing the artist, I kept scrolling, thinking I’d get to it eventually. This happened to autoplay after I watched Lizzo’s concert a moment ago... Feel is like my chest is going to explode, I love this so.
Booked a ticket to this demi-god for the Dublin gig in December. Thank you Tiny Desk for pointing me towards glory.
This is the most beautiful thing ive ever heard im infatuated by these songs the melody his voice it gives off vampire cathedral graveyard vibes if that makes sense and it’s absolutely beautiful
The best Tiny Desk Concert I’ve ever heard.
WHY ARE HIS LASHES SO LOOONGGGG UGHHHHH IM JEALOUS
I honestly wish this video would never end, Tamino's songs are one of the most captivating and celestial things ever.
