Marrakech, Until Sunrise

Marrakech, Until Sunrise

Club Hikari Records | 15 Tracks | Afro House × Zouk

One city. Two strangers. Twenty-four hours. A story that begins with a smile and ends with the sunrise.

Marrakech, Until Sunrise is a musical love story unfolding over 24 hours in the heart of Morocco. Across 15 tracks, Club Hikari Records follows Guillaume, a Frenchman from Antibes, and Aya, a woman from Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, whose paths unexpectedly cross in a Marrakech café.

What begins as a casual encounter becomes a journey through sunlit streets, lively terraces, rooftop gatherings, and nights filled with music. As the city moves from golden afternoon light into the hypnotic energy of midnight, their connection grows beyond language, culture, and geography.

Musically, the album blends the organic warmth of Afro House, the sensual rhythms of Zouk, West African percussion, Moroccan influences, and soulful electronic melodies. Deep rolling basslines, delicate guitars, warm Rhodes chords, and hypnotic grooves create a soundscape that evolves naturally from morning to night and back again.

At the heart of the album are two distinctive voices. Guillaume's smoky, imperfect French baritone brings vulnerability and understated romance. Aya's earthy Ivorian contralto carries the warmth, rhythm, and emotional depth of West Africa, moving between French, English, and Dioula.

The album unfolds in three chapters: The Encounter, where curiosity becomes attraction; The Dance, where rhythm takes over and words become unnecessary; and The Feeling, where the energy of the night gives way to intimacy and reflection.

The journey ends with Until Sunrise, a deeply personal Zouk song performed entirely by Aya. As Marrakech awakens, she reflects on a night that may have changed her life. There are no grand promises, only the beautiful uncertainty of what comes next.

Marrakech, Until Sunrise is more than a collection of dance tracks. It is a celebration of human connection, cultural encounters, and those unexpected moments that stay with us long after the music stops.

Because sometimes, all it takes is one city, one stranger, and one unforgettable night.

Listen, stay awhile,

Love Guillaume
