Berber Music Around the Campfire
Drums, songs and stories by the fire: the sound of the Sahara, every night at Camp Sakura.
When dinner ends, the drums begin. The campfire circle is the heart of every evening at the camp.
The Experience
Our team grew up with this music. After dinner, everyone gathers around the fire as the bendir and darbuka drums start their rhythms, joined by singing, clapping and the occasional impromptu dance in the sand.
Guests are always welcome to pick up a drum and join in; the team loves teaching the basic rhythms. Between songs, ask about life in the desert. The stories are as memorable as the music.
