About

Welcome

I am Araceli Tzigane, director of Mapamundi Música, the trade mark of Mapamundi Cultural SL, dedicated to management and booking of artists of music with roots on the traditions of the people. If you want to know more about us, check the clients that have already trusted us or let me explain you a little bit of our history. And if you want to know more about me, click here.

Mission and objectives

Mapamundi Música’s mission is to contribute to cultural diversity by supporting the visibility, transmission and international circulation of traditional and roots music as living forms of cultural expression.

We work to create meaningful connections between artists, cultural professionals, institutions and audiences across countries and communities, with particular attention to oral traditions, endangered and minoritised languages, intangible cultural heritage and musical practices that are underrepresented in mainstream cultural markets.

Our objectives include facilitating fairer access to professional opportunities for artists and musical cultures from different backgrounds; fostering intercultural dialogue through music; promoting deeper understanding of the social, historical and political contexts in which musical traditions develop; and encouraging sustainable international cooperation.

We understand traditional music not as a static representation of identity, but as a living, evolving language capable of connecting communities, challenging stereotypes and creating dialogue across borders.

 

What do we do for you

  • For programmers and artistic directors

For programmers and artistic directors we offer these. For artists, check below.

  • We offer you outstanding artists for your program or festival. We only work with artists that are able to move and communicate something special to your public, that create memorable moments (quite often our clients tell us they have been congratulated after having made a concert with our artists) and that are also trustable professionals as well as kind and open persons.
  • We answer fast and right to your administrative needs. We are used to deal with digital administration and invoicing systems that are been implemented nowadays in public and private organizations. We can adapt ourselves to your sistem and we won´t cause you any uncertainty about if we’ll sign a contract on time or if we’ll be able to provide you that other document you need.
  • We have much experience in communication so you can rely on that we’ll provide you well written and attractive texts, of the size you need, as well as pictures, links…
  • We round out your program with more activities added up to the concert, like workshops or lectures. If you have any idea, feel free to tell us. We have even made cooking shows with our musicians!

Our background

On day 27th of December of 2007 it took place the first concert by an artist booked throught our first rooster.

This initiative arised after the requests from some clients that asked us for proposals and programs, as they knew our activity with the radio show Mapamundi (called Mundofonías since 2009).

We started just before the finantial crisis so we have had to test our endurance and commitment. And here we are!

As well as working with Iberian artists, Mapamundi Música colaborates with artists from other places. Along these years we have brought to Spain for the first time artists like Mad Sheer Khan (Algeria, France), Tao Ravao & Vincent Bucher (Madagascar, France), Ellika, Solo & Rafael (Sweden, Senegal, Mexico), Özlem Bulut (Turkey), Janusz Prusinowski Kompania (Poland), Gulaza (Israel) or Monsieur Doumani (Cyprus). We have developed festivals and series (like Escalamundos, Jewish Music and Culture Festival in Alcorcón, Dances of the World in Alcorcón…) and designed and/or produced new concerts, like Jako el Muzikante, Chopin’s music and village roots, or À Porta do Cante.
