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 .
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.
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!
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
@@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.
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
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
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...
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 ;)
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!
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 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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
I went to see him play in Manchester, he is a fallen angel. That experience was better than any other, and the courage and grace he filled me with in those moments was eternal and other worldly.
Grace. Beauty. Real. This gorgeous human is thankfully rejecting formulaic expressions of "cool," thus rendering him tender and true. Feeling good about this moment as I get to hear this soul sing.
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?
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.

This the type of dude to break your heart and make YOU say sorry.

Tamino offuscates the entire room. Couldn't see him at all
whaaaat
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.

Little did we know the ground kisses him, with every step he takes
