5/5 from 1,528 reviews
Photo of Grace Musical Events Grace Musical Events "They were amazing and so accommodating! They arrived early with all of their equipment. They were ready to go after the cocktail "hour", which ran over but they were extremely accommodating and played for the full time despite us starting 2hrs late. The song selection was phenomenal and the performance really brought together the room, making the larger ballroom feel like a familial atmosphere. Would recommend Grace Musical Events to anyone!"

Frequently asked questions

The average price for world music on Gig Heaven is $550, with rates from $150 to $2,000+. 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.
