5/5 from 53 reviews
Photo of Joline esalo Joline esalo "We were honestly blown away by Joline. Her voice sounded even better live than in the videos on her profile. She has an incredible talent and brought so much emotion and passion to her performance that she truly touched everyone there. On top of being a fantastic singer, Joline is such a lovely person. She arrived right on time, was warm, friendly, and easy to work with from start to finish. We would book her again in a heartbeat and can highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing vocalist who is also genuinely kind and professional. Thanks again, Joline, for making our event so special!"

Based in Brussels, Brussels Capital (13 miles from Mechelen) 21st March 2026 Good vibes - Weddings, Events and Coctails Photo of Mike & Tenzen - Acoustic shamanic folk Mike & Tenzen - Acoustic shamanic folk "Mike & Tenzen are able to make their instruments come to life and tell stories of their own. They have a diverse registry, varying from shamanic music with the didgeridoo being played, or their folk songs where they both sing." Based in Brussels, Brussels Capital (13 miles from Mechelen) Livio - Maison du Quartier Ambiorix Photo of Lascar String Quartet Lascar String Quartet "This was an important moment for me, so it was crucial that the Quartet « wowed » my family: and they did. The Quartet were fantastic. Collaboration prior to the event was impeccable. The Quartet started on time and played the agreed list of pop songs with imagination & gusto. The connection with the audience was electric. The adults joined in and sang the lyrics, song after song, throughout the set. The biggest crowd-pleaser was « Hotel California ». I will book the Quartet again." Based in Antwerp, Flanders (14 miles from Mechelen) 15th October 2026 Charles Groutage - Family Birthday Party Photo of Jazz Bands Antwerp | Jazz Central Agency Jazz Bands Antwerp | Jazz Central Agency "Better than our idols You only turn 65 once, so that called for a party with 65 guests, excellent catering, and live jazz music with a singer (Willem). Our preference was for the crooner style of Michael Bublé and Dennis van Aartsen, but this band was even better than our idols and exceeded our expectations: wonderful music, super professional, with friendly band members. It turned into a fantastic party with compliments about the music from all guests, young and old. We look back on it with great pleasure!" Based in Antwerp, Flanders (14 miles from Mechelen) 5th December 2025 Josephine - Birthday Photo of Pablo Groove Pablo Groove "We hired Pablo for a private party, and that was the best choice we could make. His way of interacting with the guests and playing unforgettable melodies made the evening truly special. He combines his saxophone perfectly with modern music, which gives a unique touch to his performance. There wasn't a single guest who didn't ask me who that talented saxophonist was. Great work, Pablo!" Translated from Dutch Based in Antwerp, Flanders (14 miles from Mechelen) Kathie Willems

Frequently asked questions

The average price for world music on Gig Heaven is €500, with rates from €140 to €1,800+. Cost depends on the number of musicians, performance duration and the musical tradition involved. World music spans an enormous range of styles and instrumentation, so the format and scale of the act are the main pricing factors.

The world music acts include performers from a vast range of musical traditions including African, Latin, Asian, Middle Eastern, Celtic, Caribbean, Balkan and many more. Many acts offer fusion styles that blend traditional sounds with modern genres.

Hiring world music suits a wide range of events including multicultural weddings, corporate diversity events, international festivals, themed parties, cultural celebrations and educational workshops. World music brings authentic cultural experiences to events and appeals to diverse audiences.

Many world music acts specialise in the music of particular regions or cultures and can provide an authentic experience including traditional instruments, costumes and customs. To get the best results, specify the cultural tradition you are looking for when browsing or making an enquiry.

Many world music acts offer drumming circles, dance workshops or music-making sessions as part of their booking. These interactive elements are popular at festivals, corporate events and school programmes. It is advisable to ask about workshop options when contacting performers.

Most world music acts bring their own traditional instruments, which are often rare or specialist items not readily available. For workshops where participants need instruments, these are usually provided by the performer. Gig Heaven recommends confirming what is included.

Line-ups run from a solo player to ensembles of eight or more, and the tradition usually sets the shape: some styles are built around a group of players while others centre on one or two instruments. Smaller line-ups suit ceremonies, receptions and background playing, while larger groups suit festivals and outdoor events. Supplier profiles list the sizes each act offers, and many will quote for more than one.

Many acts perform in the language of the tradition they play, and some mix that with English-language material across a set. Where the audience is mixed, performers often introduce songs briefly so the room follows what is coming. Ask at the enquiry stage if the balance matters, as it is usually straightforward to adjust.

Acts using large traditional instruments need more floor space than a standard stage plan allows, and some perform standing or moving through the room rather than from one spot. Performances that move need a route agreed with the venue rather than a stage. Giving the act the room dimensions and saying whether the performance is fixed or moving lets them advise on what fits.

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
