4.9/5 from 54 reviews
Photo of Anouar Anouar "I would love to say that anoua made party excellent and all my friends they really enjoyed and love the ambiance we book it for 2 hours but honestly we extend for 5 hour as we love the ambience and many languages we head tonight Big thanks anouar and see you soon 🤗" Based in Dubai 15th May 2026 John - Privet party Photo of Myat.BurmeseViolinist Myat.BurmeseViolinist "Ms. Myat delivered an absolutely captivating violin performance at DaVinci’s Italian restaurant. From the moment she began playing, the atmosphere transformed into something truly special, elegant, warm and emotionally rich. Her technique was flawless, but what stood out even more was her ability to connect with the audience through every note. She moved effortlessly between pieces, blending classical charm with a modern touch that suited the ambiance of the restaurant perfectly. Whether playing soft, romantic melodies or more vibrant, expressive compositions, she maintained a level of artistry that held everyone’s attention. It’s rare to find a performer who enhances a dining experience so completely, but Ms. Myat did just that. Anyone fortunate enough to hear her play will leave with a lasting impression." Based in Dubai 27th April 2026 Hashem - Restaurants manager Photo of Live Band | Bollywood | Sound system Live Band | Bollywood | Sound system "The band played for my sister’s traditional Mangalorean Roce ceremony.

Frequently asked questions

The average price for world music on Gig Heaven is AED2,050, with rates from AED600 to AED7,500+. 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.

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.
