A Magical Night in Morrocoโ€™s Agafay Desert

When the dhol players of Drummers Delight get called to perform in Marrakesh, you know itโ€™s going to be an unforgettable experience. Our recent gig in the breathtaking Agafay Desert was no exception!

We flew into Marrakesh and were treated to a stay in the stunning Riad Alnadine, right in the heart of the Old Townโ€”a place steeped in history, vibrant culture, and ancient charm. Wandering through the narrow, winding streets, you canโ€™t help but feel the energy of Marrakeshโ€™s bustling souks, with their colourful spices, intricate crafts, and warm local hospitality. Itโ€™s a place where time seems to stand still, with each turn leading to a new discovery.

Our riad was a peaceful oasis amid the lively chaos, offering us a quiet retreat after long days of preparation. (Check out the photoโ€”trust me, youโ€™ll want to stay hereon your next trip!). Thereโ€™s something about the architecture of the Old Town that makes you feel transported to another world.  Every archway, every mosaic tile tells a story of its rich history and evokes a sense of discovery and wonder.

The highlight? The party took place in the vast, golden sands of the Agafay Desert, where we had the privilege of performing with a traditional Moroccan band during the guestsโ€™ reception. Imagine the sceneโ€”blue skies, endless desert, and the rich, vibrant sounds of the dhol and Moroccan instruments blending in harmony. It was pure magic.

And as if that wasnโ€™t enough, Riman and Hamish made their grand entrance on camels! Yes, you heard that rightโ€”camels! This desert celebration was full of iconic moments, and weโ€™ve got the photos to prove it. 

For the eveningโ€™s entertainment, we brought our signature DJ drumming set to take the party to the next leveโ€”  hyping up the crowd with a fusion of beats and rhythms that had everyone dancing under the stars. Special shout-out to DJ Suki Motion, who played the hottest records from around the world, setting the perfect vibe.

A big thanks to the incredible team of photographers and cinematographers, Matt & Jodie Everard (follow them here) and Matt Morgan (check him out here), for capturing every moment of this magical night in Marrakesh.  Weโ€™re working with them to put something cool together for this event! 

It was an unforgettable event, and weโ€™re already dreaming about our next performance in the desert sands of Morocco. Need dhol players for your event? Get in touch with Drummers Delightโ€”weโ€™d love to bring our beats and rhythms to your big day!
