AMIR DELUXE LP OUT OCTOBER 18 VIA ARTS & CRAFTS

“[a voice] which soars from a throaty croon to a glass-shattering falsetto in a single breath” – BBC

“The promise was bigger than we ever imagined” – NPR

“22 year old musician Tamino-Amir Moharam Fouad’s effortless and inherent talent has gained him quick notoriety among not only his fans in Europe but leaps and bounds beyond continental borders with the release of his debut album Amir” – Northern Transmissions

Tamino is very pleased to share a very special filmed recording of “Intervals” featuring the Nagham Zirkayat Orchestra. It features on the deluxe version of his debut album, Amir, which is released on the October 18 through Arts & Crafts.

Tamino’s collaboration with the Brussels based Nagham Zikrayat is almost the dictionary definition of serendipity. Although the majority of the playing heard on Amir is the man himself, he is joined by this collective across a handful of songs. The Firka (orchestra) is predominantly made up of professional musicians from the Middle East, most of which have refugee status having predominantly fled from Iraq, Morocco, Tunisia and Syria. Members of the orchestra are long-standing fans of Tamino’s late grandfather, a famous actor-musician in the golden age of Egyptian cinema. They contacted Tamino to request his performance at a concert in honour of his late grandfather. Not being a native speaker, Tamino politely declined but invited the orchestra to assist him in the making of Amir. Watch him perform a stunning rendition of “Intervals” with their assistance live from Jet Studios to get a feel for what they offer to his sound.

Having just wrapped a run of Canadian tour dates, Tamino will make a very special, first trip out to the Middle East and North Africa in October, taking in debut shows in Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, and Turkey. The demand for his arrival out there is testament to the word of mouth momentum that Amir has already accumulated outside the typical touring countries that he’s already made his name within. He then returns to Europe in November with two new UK shows in Manchester and The Scala in London in early December, his biggest UK so far.

Amir was produced by PJ Maertens and Jo Francken, and recorded at both Maertens’ house in Belgium and at Audiworkx Studios in Holland.

It’s been a breakthrough year for 22-year-old Tamino Moharam Fouad, the Antwerp based musician of Egyptian and Lebanese heritage, with his voice infiltrating the far corners of Europe and beyond building a fanatical fanbase around his startling, visceral, and stirring emotive sound. 

Amir is a record that is proving a real word-of-mouth success, ending 2018 in The Independent’s Albums of the Year and finding support on the BBC, NPR, and a variety of high-profile European television and radio stations. It’s not just the media that have been picking up on Tamino’s power, but fellow musicians too. This year Tamino has performed with Lana Del Rey at her request, and he counts Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood as a bandmate now (who also features on a selection of recordings on Amir playing bass guitar).

Over the course of Amir, Tamino captures a range of emotions from romance to desolation, and almost everything in between. It’s mood music, painted in a number of different shades. This deluxe release will act as a timely reminder of what makes Tamino such a special young artist, and shows the progression he has soon made from those initial demo recordings right through to his stunning live sound of today.
