The pleasant setting with a variety of restaurants on a wooden deck overlooking a lake was perfected by the wide variety of music genres they performed.

We had heavy rain and planned to be outside and Manicus_Sa was incredible and moved everything inside last minute and the music he played got everyone up on the dance floor and relaxed me instantly! Absolutely brilliant DJ and I’d 100% recommend Miro rather than a band! It was brilliant! Thank you to Heavy Sax who Manicus_Sa brought with him as my guests were obsessed with him and was also absolutely fabulous! Cannot recommend enough! Thank you again for making our night the bestest night ever" Based in Johannesburg, Gauteng (727 miles from Worcester) Mr Phillips and Ms khaya - Wedding party

Frequently asked questions

The average price for world music on Gig Heaven is R9,500, with rates from R2,550 to R33,500+. 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.
