EVENTS
NOT JUST A DARBUKA PLAYER
DAHOV's performance was built for the modern international event world.
His signature style takes the sound and heritage of Arabic percussion and places it alongside DJs, dancers, contemporary music and large-scale visual production.
He can move directly through the crowd with his handheld darbuka or command the stage with his signature LED drum productions.
Arabic rhythms can collide with house, Afro house, hip-hop, electronic, international and Middle Eastern music, allowing the performance to connect naturally with Dubai's multicultural audiences.
This isn't background music. It's a featured performance.
LUXURY WEDDINGS, PRIVATE EVENTS & CORPORATE DUBAI
DAHOV is available in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and throughout the UAE for luxury weddings, engagement celebrations, private parties, gala dinners, corporate events, brand activations, VIP events and destination celebrations.
Performances can be created around the event itself — from a dramatic entrance or surprise performance to darbuka alongside the DJ, dancers and a full dance-floor takeover.
Multiple appearances can also be incorporated throughout an evening, allowing the energy to build rather than presenting one traditional stage show.
