Maraqopa is the tenth studio album by American rock musician Damien Jurado, produced by Richard Swift. It was released on 21 February 2012, on Secretly Canadian.
The story follows a man who disappears from society. He takes nothing with him except a couple hundred dollars and stumbles upon a mysterious place called Maraqopa.
