Raíces Brings Cuban Salsa, Live Music and a Cuba-Morocco Dinner to a Marrakech Rooftop

Raíces returns to Marrakech for its third edition on Saturday, October 10, combining Cuban salsa, live music, dinner and a rooftop dance night inside the Medina.

The organizer’s current programme starts at 18:30 at M Rooftop by Medina Heritage. The first section is a 90-minute Cuban salsa masterclass with Ben, open to all levels and to people attending without a partner.

Three stages across the evening

From 18:30 to 20:00, the lower room hosts the salsa class. From 20:00 to 21:30, the first rooftop becomes a candlelit Cuba-Morocco dinner with Junes on vocals and guitar, joined by saxophone and percussion. From 21:30 until midnight, the upper rooftop turns into the dance floor with DJ Shedu playing salsa, son cubano, timba and bachata.

The masterclass is limited to 35 places.

Four ticket options

Online prices currently start at 250 MAD for La Noche, which includes the dance night and one drink. Bailar is 350 MAD and adds the class. La Mesa is 550 MAD and includes dinner, live music and the dance night. The full Raíces package is 650 MAD and includes all three stages.

The organizer says each option costs 50 MAD more when purchased on site. Online sales close at midnight on October 9, Morocco time.
