Album Showcase and Listening Party
in Marrakech
The Long Table composes private album showcases and listening parties in the Agafay desert, 40 minutes from Marrakech, for labels, artists, studios and streaming platforms: one group per evening, from 30 to 300 guests, nobody else on site. A stage and sound composed for the record, a dinner by invited chefs, a fire and a starry sky, with the evening filmed for the release if you wish. Composed entirely around your group.

Five ways to present a record
Album listening party
The record played in full, once, in the desert, in front of the people who matter to its release: team, press, partners, first fans. Nobody else hears it that night.
Private showcase
The artist on a stage composed for the project, a set of a few songs or a full concert, for 30 to 300 invited guests and no one else on the plateau.
Open-air session
An acoustic or stripped-back session at golden hour or by the fire, recorded if you wish, with the silence of the desert as the room.
Music video shoot
The site held for the shoot by day, the crew looked after on site, then the listening session or the dinner at night. Permits and technical needs studied with you from the brief.
Artist dinner
A long table under the stars for the artist, the label and the guests, with chefs invited for the evening, before or after the music.
Sound in the Desert
Nothing competes with the sound
A stage and a sound composed for each project
No fixed stage, no house system. Stage, sound and lighting are composed for the record, the artist and the number of guests, with your technical team or ours.
Gnaoua musicians in dialogue, if you wish
Musicians from the Gnaoua tradition can open the evening, accompany a set or answer the record, if the artist wants that dialogue. Never imposed, always composed with you.
Sound hours studied from the brief
Timing of the set and sound levels are agreed with you from the brief, so the evening is designed around what the site and the date allow.

A Typical Evening
From golden hour to the stars
01 · Arrival at golden hour
Transfers from Marrakech, 40 minutes. Guests arrive as the light turns, a first drink facing the Atlas, and the site is theirs.
02 · The first listen
The record played in full as night falls, or a first set on the stage. Nothing competes with the sound.
03 · Dinner
A long table under the stars, a menu composed with the chefs invited for the evening, the artist at the table if that is the wish.
04 · The set and the fire
The showcase, the surprise guests, the Gnaoua dialogue if chosen, then the fire.
05 · The sky
Late, the stars without light pollution, the last songs, the content captured for the release. Departures organised by our team.
