Your’re still hiding in the park
You look so happy when you’re down, down, down
Under the trees where you wont be found
And you’re still dancing in the dark
It makes you happy when you’re down, down, down
No one can see you spinning ’round and ’round
And your feet
They keep on moving
Even when the nights are cold
When you’re old
Will you still be dancing on?
Into the dawn of the light
I havn’t seen u for a while
You still look happy when you’re down, down, down
You keep on moving to keep warm when the leaves turn brown
And you’re still reaching up to the sky
It makes you happy when you’re down, down, down
I still believe that one day you will take off from the ground
And your stars
They keep on burning
Even when the nights are cold
When you’re old
Will you still be dancing on?
Into the dawn
Hear the voices singing everywhere
Singing love is coming down
To those who care
Hear the voices singing everywhere
Singing love is coming down
To those who care
Oh, and your feet
They keep on moving
Even when the nights are cold
When you’re old
Will you still be dancing on?
Into the dawn
And your stars
They keep on burning
Even when the nights are cold
When you’re old
Will you still be dancing on?
Into the dawn – of the light

Bukahara was founded in 2009 by four musicians who met while studying jazz at The Cologne University of Music and Dance. More than ten years later, they continue to surprise and enchant their audiences again and again. Anyone who has experienced Bukahara live knows with what pure ecstasy the band writes itself into the hearts of their fans.
Ahmed, Avi, Soufian and Max manage to stay true to their unconventional style without giving up their musical curiosity. For Bukahara, that means letting their emotions take over while dancing like no one is watching. Categorizing the band as North-African influenced folk-pop singer-songwriters is often inaccurate, as their musical vocabulary is constantly evolving. The four multi-instrumentalists nonchalantly move from genre to genre without losing their distinctive sound. They seem to effortlessly manage the balancing act between Arabic sound spheres and Western influences. Bukahara transcends musical boundaries and convinces the audience with elaborate arrangements and almost animalistic, haunting rhythms that will not let any feet stand still.
Bukahara have played their songs that create a magical appeal at the Pohoda 2019 festival in Slovakia, Sziget in Hungary and many other festivals and concerts. After a sold-out tour in April 2022, during which the band captivated tens of thousands of music fans, they will tour again in spring 2023, with one of the concerts taking place on 23 March at Prague’s Palac Akropolis.
