My love for Morocco began when I miraculously kept being called back there for work, with friends, family and more (A tale for another time).

I spent over 8 months there and totally fell in love with the Arabic, African and European influences and the mystical nature of their traditions and diverse musical sounds from all over the world. Full of glorious star-gazing skies, beautiful sand dunes and deserts, the famous Atlas mountains, charming villages, old souk markets and the new-town with it’s sophisticated high-vibe nightlife. It is full of contrasts, colours, smells and beautiful tastes, that will always have a deep place within my heart.

I hope you can join me on rediscovering Marrakech to do what we all love to do – Dance!
