They performed at my big wedding day and they could not have made my day any more perfect.... The singing and the background playing was everything 💕 I did not give much instruction and yet they exceeded my expectations and our guests at the venue were very impressed. Some even thought that it was a CD that was playing until they realized it was the band that played the WHOLE day... I can't stop fussing about this band and they can play anything you wish them to... Thank you Courus for making my day special 🌼🌸🧡 I'd use you over and over again!! 💛" Based in Johannesburg, Gauteng (301 miles from Ballito) Heather Felix - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring African entertainment is R10,500, with prices from R1,450 to R70,000+. Pricing depends on the number of performers, the style of music and whether the act includes dancers or additional instruments such as djembe, kora or talking drum. African entertainment spans a wide range of traditions, so the type and scale of the performance are the main cost factors.

The African acts on Gig Heaven include a wide range of performers such as drum groups, dance troupes, Afrobeat bands, marimba players and traditional musicians from across the African continent. Many acts combine live music with dance and audience participation for a vibrant, high-energy experience.

Hiring African entertainment is popular for cultural celebrations, weddings, corporate team-building events, festivals, school workshops and community events. The high energy and interactive nature of many African performances makes them suitable for audiences of all ages and backgrounds.

Many African acts offer drumming workshops, dance classes or a combination of both as part of their booking. These interactive sessions work particularly well for corporate team-building days, school events and festivals. It is worth discussing workshop options with performers when making an enquiry.
