Daara Tribes are BACK and we’re super happy to host them again as part of
Whatever the weather, come catch yourself come Saharan sun, some irresistible Moroccan trance grooves, stunning singing and lilting Maghreb guitars!!
These guys are the real deal – a musical collective born in the heart of the southern Moroccan Sahara, in the town of Tagounite, along the ancient Draa Valley. They bring together musicians from diverse cultural and tribal backgrounds- Amazigh, Sahrawi, and Arab – united by a shared desire to revive ancestral rhythms and reimagine them through a modern lens. Live they are full of energy, emotional power, and ceremonial qualities, transforming each show into a collective ritual of connection and rhythm.
Drawing deeply from oral traditions and spiritual rituals, Daraa Tribes sing in Tamazight (Berber), Classical Arabic, and Moroccan Darija, reflecting their multi-layered cultural identity. Their music blends traditional percussion instruments-such as the tbel, grageb, and bendir – with modern elements like electric guitar, sound effects, and live improvisation. The result is a rich, immersive experience the band calls “Saharan Organic Trance” – both grounded and transcendent, what an absolute treat!!
