A pink sunset, a secret deserted location and a group of music lovers brought together to celebrate the now. Sounds like an utopia? It can become your reality this February at the very first edition of The Shepherds. 

The Shepherds is a new moving concept by deejay’s 212 and Romée Avril to explore the world of music beyond familiar surroundings. Since forever Shepherds fulfill their desire for travel and adventure with a quest for personal freedom and self-discovery. A combination of traits also visible on the dancefloor, as with every move a world is to be explored beyond a dancer’s mind guided by the artists’ intuition. The Shepherds will take you on a three day musical journey this 7-9 February where eclectic sounds, underground artists and a unique group of individuals gather this time at a secret location in Morocco, Africa. Co-founder, deejay and singer Romée Avril explains: “As artists it is our mission to keep on developing the current music scene and aim to nurture something different in order to forever broaden the horizon of our crowds. I was missing an intimate  concept where music gets connected to nature and culture – one in which we don’t escape through music, but reach a state of presence.” Moroccan deejay and co-founder 212 adds: “With The Shepherds, I am proud to establish an environment where we take music back to where it belongs. Besides that, while The Shepherds is a moving concept, our main aim is to share the cultural sense of place with our guests and give back to the local community.
