5/5 from 200 reviews
Photo of Maxx David & The Rasta Corna Maxx David & The Rasta Corna "History: At the end of 2022, Ras Maxx David decided to put together a new reggae band, after more than 15 years leading the roots reggae band Shakti I&I. That's how he got together with Johan, Clot's kid, on guitar and Tomas from Argentinian Córdoba on drums. The first line-up had Ronald Salamandra on bass and Andres Tosh on keyboards, both Venezuelans. On vocals, they collaborated with Monica, Ursula, Carlota and today with Alba. The current lineup features Mel (Ras Kuko, Roe Delgado, Gadys, Leon Demaria, 9 Roots) on bass guitar, and Dontai directly from Puerto Rico (Shakti I&I, Leon Demaria, 9 Roots) on keyboards. Juanele completes the equipment from the sound console with live dub effects. They have premiered at the Palau St Jordi at the Biocultura 2023 fair, at several major festivals in Barcelona (Poble Nou, Navas, La Sedeta) and several famous clubs in the city (Jamboree, Marula, Diobar, Almo2Bar, BlackLab, Estraperlo, Garage Beer, etc.) Ras Maxx David is presenting his latest LP titled "No Competition". (2025)." Based in Barcelona, Catalonia Max Emaleu Photo of Love Jimo Love Jimo "Love showed up right on time and got the party started just after our guests finished dinner. Everyone was thrilled with the energy and music that he brought and were talking about the party for weeks afterwards. Amazing DJ." Based in Torremolinos, Andalusia (486 miles from Barcelona) Jamal Simpson - Private Wedding Photo of Jack | International DJ & Music Director Jack | International DJ & Music Director "When we first booked Jack Rooster, we thought we were hiring a DJ. What we actually got was a Music Director, trusted advisor, problem solver, coordinator and an incredible partner throughout our entire wedding journey. From the very first planning call, Jack took the time to understand not just the music we liked, but the atmosphere we wanted to create for our families and friends. Over several months of preparation, he helped us think through every important moment across both days, from the Nigerian traditional ceremony to the wedding ceremony, aperitivo, dinner, formal moments and the party. What impressed us most was the level of preparation. Every entrance, transition, performance, cue and special moment was carefully considered. Jack coordinated seamlessly with our planner, live performers, sound team and suppliers, ensuring that everything felt effortless on the day, even though we now know how much work was happening behind the scenes. The music itself was perfect. He somehow managed to bring together guests from different countries, cultures and generations and keep everyone engaged throughout the weekend. Whether it was the traditional Nigerian elements, the romantic wedding moments, the live performances, or the packed dancefloor later in the evening, every part felt intentional and perfectly timed. Several guests commented that it felt less like a wedding and more like a beautifully curated experience. What stood out most was the trust we felt throughout the process. We always felt that Jack genuinely cared about the success of our wedding as much as we did. His professionalism, attention to detail, calm presence and ability to read a room gave us complete confidence from start to finish. We are incredibly grateful for everything he did and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone planning a destination wedding, luxury celebration or special event. Thank you, Jack, for helping to create memories that will stay with us and our families for a lifetime. K & D Catania, Sicily" Based in Rome, Latium, Italy (535 miles from Barcelona) 6th October 2026 K & D Photo of OliveTreeDance OliveTreeDance "OliveTreeDance at Boom Festival 2016 – A Multi-Tribal Explosion of Sound Boom Festival 2016 was already an immersive celebration of art, music, and consciousness, but when OliveTreeDance took the stage, the entire experience was elevated to an entirely new dimension. The Portuguese tribal-dance powerhouse delivered a performance that was nothing short of hypnotic—a sonic ritual that ignited every cell in the bodies of those fortunate enough to witness it. From the very first vibration of the didgeridoo, the air became electric. Renato Oliveira (Oliver) wielded his instrument like a shaman leading a ceremony, his deep, pulsating drones setting the foundation for a transcendental dance journey. The fusion of earthy grooves and ethereal overtones created an atmosphere that felt ancient yet futuristic, grounding yet cosmic. The percussion was the heartbeat of the experience, an intricate network of beats that dictated the tempo of the trance. The drums were relentless yet perfectly controlled, shifting between deep tribal grooves and explosive, high-energy bursts that sent waves of movement rippling through the crowd. The interplay between the didgeridoo and the rhythmic section was pure alchemy—seamlessly weaving moments of intensity with hypnotic breakdowns, allowing dancers to ride the waves of sound like tribal nomads journeying through a sonic landscape. The energy of the performance was nothing short of infectious. The Boom crowd—already known for its uninhibited, ecstatic dance expression—was completely in sync with the music. Faces painted in fluorescent colors, feet stomping the dust into the air, arms reaching for the sky—this was more than a concert; it was a collective rite of passage into a state of pure rhythm-driven euphoria. As the set built to its peak, OliveTreeDance introduced unexpected sonic layers, from looping vocal chants to bursts of percussive madness, amplifying the trance-like effect. The synergy between musicians and audience was total, a feedback loop of energy and movement that defied the limits of what a live performance could achieve. By the time the last note echoed into the night, the Boom Festival dancefloor was left in a blissful daze—breathless, euphoric, transformed. OliveTreeDance had not just performed; they had invoked a multi-tribal dance ritual that merged ancient tradition with modern psychedelic celebration. Boom Festival 2016 was a portal to another world, and OliveTreeDance was the shamanic force that guided us through it. Absolutely unforgettable." Based in Porto, Portugal (559 miles from Barcelona) Artur Silva - Professional photography business Photo of Rosalina Assanali & Banda Rosalina Assanali & Banda "Rosalina and her band were absolutely fantastic at our wedding and created a perfect playlist of songs that were performed to perfection. Thank you Rosalina!"

He is worth the money. Looking forward to our next event together this summer." Based in Lisbon, Lisbon District, Portugal (625 miles from Barcelona) Jose Monteiro - Charity event

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring African entertainment is €600, with prices from €80 to €2,250+. 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.
