Yes, we can play music from our devices before and between our sets.
It's truly difficult to pinpoint the single best gig or venue we've ever performed at because each experience brings something unique and memorable. We've had the privilege of playing over 500 concerts around the world, from the stunning shores of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans to intimate settings and bustling venues.
We find joy and fulfillment in all types of performances, whether they are small, intimate gatherings or large, energetic crowds. What truly makes a performance special for us is seeing how our music resonates with the audience and knowing that we're the right fit for their event. When people connect with our music and enjoy the atmosphere we create, that's when we're happiest.
We love performing at all kinds of events and are committed to delivering the highest quality service regardless of the occasion. Our professionalism and passion for music ensure an exceptional experience for every audience.
Our musical journey began with a shared love for various styles, from classical pieces to contemporary hits. Influenced by iconic artists like The Beatles and jazz legends, we developed a unique sound that resonates with audiences at various events. Before forming Namana, we both gained extensive experience performing in different settings, which helped us refine our craft and create a polished act.
We created Namana to bring our fresh and exciting musical experience to a wider audience. Starting in our home city, we quickly built a reputation for our dynamic performances and versatile repertoire, catering to weddings, corporate events, and private gatherings. From the outset, our project was designed with a focus on performing internationally, allowing us to connect with diverse audiences across cultures.

We typically arrive one hour before the performance for smaller events that require less equipment and two hours prior for larger events or those that include vocal performances. Our standard sets are 2 x 45 minutes or 2 x 60 minutes. While we’re flexible and can adjust our set lengths if needed, we’ve found that these durations work best for us and our audiences.
We love playing outdoors and are happy to add to the ambiance of any outdoor event. We just ask for a few simple things to ensure the best performance possible: a shady spot to keep our instruments safe, a flat and stable surface to set up on, and a nearby power supply so we can keep the music going without interruptions.
Clients can choose their preferred music from our repertoire list and we can arrange a couple of additional songs of the client's choice by request.
Clients often describe NaMaNa's performances as captivating and versatile, blending classical influences with pop and jazz in unique arrangements. Praised for our soulful and engaging style, we adapt to various event atmospheres, ensuring every performance feels special and memorable.
