Besides enjoying DJ Mada, diners are given a chance to drive home a Maserati Ghibli 2014, the latest rage in the luxury automobile circles.

And of the many social hubs in town, only Buddha-Bar Manila presents the chance of making everyone’s dream of owning a Maserati Ghibli 2014 possible.

And while counting one’s lucky stars and imagining how great it would be to drive home a Maserati Ghibli and embark on a fabulous road trip-cum-getaway, indulge again and again the music of DJ Mada whose unique mix of chill-out, electronic and world music all featuring ethnic vibes true to Buddha Bar’s music concept.

DJ Mada who?

Ahmed Khalil aka DJ Mada knew at 16 that he was destined to be a musical artist, jumpstarting his career by playing at the one and only local club in his hometown Suez. Mada’s love of music and dancing soon led him to clubs in Cairo and Alexandria until he landed a DJ job at Grand Hotel Hurghada.

From the Egyptian seaside to cosmopolitan Europe, performing along the way at such prestigious events as the world-famous audiovisual Cinetrip spa party series, the vibrant MayDay gigs, or Sziget Festival, which is one of the largest music and cultural festivals in Europe, it has been a rollercoaster ride for this talented musician.

George V Entertainment has taken DJ Mada under its wing and given him the opportunity to perform at global hotspots like Buddha Bar’s Paris ‘headquarters’, Buddha Bar St. Petersburg and Little Buddha Sharm-el-Sheikh.

Buddha-Bar Manila always raises the bar in terms of one-of-a-kind concepts and grand ideas, making every visit an interlude to remember. With DJ Mada’s Manila visit and the Win a Maserati Promo, the fun has really just started.

Arabian Nights with DJ Mada was made possible by Buddha-Bar Manila in cooperation with When In Manila.com, Grey Goose: World’s Best Vodka, and Best Western Plus Antel Hotel.
