Be sure to clarify these details during your booking discussions.

World music is a very (and in some respects, purposely) broad term that can refer to all sorts of different genres of music, that may have its roots in hundreds of countries around the globe. Some popular modern world music artists could include Ali Farka Toure, Ravi Shankar and Cesária Évora, but it is simply impossible to list all of them. There are many events for which you might consider booking a world music artist. Cultural events, be they at community or diplomatic levels, would absolutely benefit from the addition of live music. Private events, like the weddings or birthday parties of world music fans, will also find a world music band an amazing addition.
