Photo of Efe sax Efe sax "Thank you so much for your performance at our wedding. Honestly, I loved it so much, it was magnificent and you really created a great atmosphere and made our evening even more special. Thank you for your talent and your energy, we had a wonderful time 🙏" Translated from French Based in Marrakesh, Marrakesh-Safi, Morocco 1st October 2026 Yaokurt - Wedding Photo of Dj Limeuri Anas Dj Limeuri Anas "DJ Limeuri Was Incredible! Literally the perfect wedding DJ ever We hired DJ Limeuri for our wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we made for the day. From our first conversation, he was professional, friendly, and really took the time to understand the kind of atmosphere we wanted. On the big day, he absolutely nailed it. The music during the reception was spot on, and once the dancing started, he had everyone – from our younger guests to grandparents – on the dance floor. The transitions were smooth, the energy was amazing, and the playlist was a perfect mix of our favorite songs and crowd-pleasers. So many of our guests commented on how great the music was. DJ Limeuri truly helped make our wedding unforgettable, and we can't thank him enough. If you're looking for a wedding DJ who knows how to create an amazing vibe, look no further!"

Thank you Rosalina!" Based in Setúbal, Portugal Issy - Casamento 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 Jamal Simpson - Private Wedding 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."

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring African entertainment is €600, with prices from €80 to €3,250+. 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.
