World Music groups are often chosen thematically by country to express a specific event mood. With few exceptions a minimum group size is three musicians to retain the essential character of that country. Some treatments are all instrument, others include vocals. Just like different dialects of a spoken language, within each country and geographic region variations of music style exist. These differences are also caused by performing either a traditional or a more modern hybrid sound from an area of the world.

The cultural diversity of the Bay Area fosters live performing groups from almost every geographic region. During its 25 year history The Rudolfi Music Agency has cultivated ongoing relationships with these uniquely talented musicians.
