Koray's Reviews

5 out of 5

I cannot recommend Koray enough. He truly brought my birthday celebration to life! His talent and energy were simply contagious, captivating every guest. He’s an incredibly skilled Darbuka player, transitioning seamlessly between pop, classical Arabic and even dancehall, which added a unique touch to the party. Koray was not only professional but also engaging, getting everyone involved, always smiling and creating an unforgettable time. If you're looking to add something special to your next celebration, give Koray and his Darbuka a call!!

Thank you soo much for coming to our engagement party and playing the Darbuka! It really added such an amazing atmosphere and everyone loved it. As you know we all like upbeat songs and you made everyone get up and dance. It just made us really enjoy our special night. Definitely would recommend you to any events - you blend into any type of culture and your skills really do add an impact to a good night. Also thanks for letting us have a go at the Darbuka.. haha we’re not pros like you. We wish you well in your career and hope to book you again! Neran & Mus x
