MATRIMIA six piece band playing balkan & world music

The sound of Matrimia is an extraordinary and enthralling mix of Gypsy, Balkan, Arabic, Hebrew with influences of chanson française, jazz Manouche, Mediterranean music but also reggae, electronic, ska and pop rock.

How does it take place?
-From the entrance of the location, playing in a parade, the band joins the wedding guests, involving them from the first moment in the joy of the party.
-The music then continues during the aperitif in a more soft way.
-The entrance to the room always has this festive and engaging character allowing the couple to feel free to behave as they see fit (many begin to dance around the tables and then get to their table)
-Background music during courses to allow guests to chat.
-Among the courses the band starts playing again in a crescendo that provides moments of great involvement of the guests who, spontaneously rising from the tables, always improvise group dances in the manner of our traditional weddings.
-Cake cut accompanied by band
-Dj set according to the tastes of the couple
