Tamino will mesmerise Istanbul once again following his new album Sahar.
Tamino opened a portal to the worlds beyond and stunned the audience with his giant presence on the stage at his Parkorman concert this past summer as part of the +1 Presents: Gezgin Salon Festival. Upon popular demand, Tamino visits Istanbul once again as the guest star of Gezgin Salon with +1 enthusiasm. This time, Tamino and his new album will take the lead at Volkswagen Arena on 18 March*.
*Before and after the concert, there will be ring services between Ayazağa metro station and the venue. Vehicles will depart from the lights in front of Orjin Maslak, which can be reached from the ITU Ayazağa metro station Plazalar exit, every 15 minutes between 17.30 - 21.15 to Volkswagen Arena. For the return trips, vehicles will depart from the front of the event venue between 23.00-01.25 and will provide transportation to Ayazağa metro station.
Tamino has managed to form tight bonds with his audience with songs such as ‘Indigo Night’ and ‘Habibi’ that convey a well of wisdom beyond his young age. Now, his wisdom grows with the echoes of his second album Sahar, released on 23 September. The grandson of one of Egypt’s most famed singers and film stars Muharrem Fouad, Tamino channels his own lineage, as well as the folk and rock music traditions from the Middle East and Europe for a borderless and timeless record.
Created in the wake of the international frenzy that followed his debut album Amir, Sahar was born in Tamino’s Antwerp apartment. Already adept at playing guitar and piano, Tamino took up the oud, an Arabic lute, under the mentorship of a Syrian refugee. The instrument served as a key tool in the songwriting process, and provides a melancholic soundscape that is threaded throughout the project. The record is a distillation of Tamino’s solitary reflections, and a product of work with close collaborators including Radiohead bassist Colin Greenwood, producer/engineer PJ Maertens, and drummer Ruben Vanhoutte.
Before Tamino: Hedonutopia
One of the most exciting bands of the local alternative scene, Hedonutopia will be the opening act at Tamino concert. Founded in İzmir in 2008 by Fırat Külçek and Kerem Feyzi, the group won the top prize in the traditional competition of Radyo Boğaziçi, Battle of the Bands in 2016. They have a very unique style for the local scene, nodding to the shoegaze of the 90s. They proved their professional stance in music with their 2016 debut album, Ucube Dizayn, and their 2017 second album, Yarı Cennet. As they said goodbye to 2022, they had released seven albums in seven years, keeping the promise at the beginning of their careers. This year, they continue their journey with the project “Herdavinyor Geceler”, in which they interpret popular songs from their discography with acoustic guitar and acoustic piano.
Door Opening: 18.00
