Photo of Slava Gelfand Slava Gelfand "Slava was absolutely amazing. He was extremely easy to get in contact with and made the entire process easy and comfortable. Slava was the Violinist for our Wedding Ceremony and he made the day so beautiful! He knew the songs we requested, our guests had nothing but amazing things to say. Thank you Slava!

His virtuoso playing, excellent sense of style, and ability to choose music that matched the atmosphere of the event made our evening truly special. I would also like to highlight how communicative and attentive he was. Vasilii easily picked up on the guests’ mood and wishes, creating exactly the atmosphere we wanted — sometimes touching and lyrical, sometimes energetic and festive. We highly recommend Vasilii as a musician who can turn any event into an unforgettable experience. Thank you for your talent and warmth!"

Frequently asked questions

The average price for world music on Gig Heaven is CHF460, with rates from CHF130 to CHF1,700+. 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.
