I<\/span>\u00a0am Araceli Tzigane. Welcome to\u00a0Mapamundi M\u00fasica<\/a>‘s September’s monthly newsletter.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am sending this news from Perth, Scotland, where I am attending The Visit\u00a0<\/span>(event produced for Showcase Scotland Expo by Active Events), a professional meeting in which we are discovering Scottish artists\u00a0<\/span>and other Scottish delights.<\/p>\n

\"\"Since the previous newsletter\u00a0I have had some experiences about visa procedures -and specially now that I came to the UK- that, combined with the excruciating menaze of Brexit, made me think a lot about how privileged I am for been able to travel to so many countries so easily. My visa for South Korea was ready in 9 days, for Uzbekistan I didn\u00b4t even need visa\u00a0and my nationality is in a Schengen zone country.<\/p>\n

Summer festivities in Turkey made the visa procedure for\u00a0C\u00fcneyt Sepet\u00e7i<\/strong>\u00a0and team to delay more than we expected. I felt almost to the edge of the infarct:\u00a0they got the visas to Portugal only in\u00a0the afternoon previous to their early morning flight. All the anxieties dissipated when they announced they got the visas\u00a0and big joy arised when we\u00a0meet at the airport in Lisbon for their concert in Tavira. In the picture, C\u00fcneyt and me enjoy a dinner at the restaurant Os Arcos in Tavira. Check their magnificent concert,\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We still have to wait to know how this of the Brexit will end… In the meantime, show must go on. Find below some thrilling news about a new radio show, a new European organization, one more little interview with a director of a festival -in this edition we “return” to Spain (you’ll understand very soon why the commas in “return”)- and many useful infos.<\/div>\n
If you have any suggestion of contents for the next editions, let us know. Thanks for your attention.<\/div>\n

\nMM – What do you search in an artist when you create the programme?\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
BP:\u00a0<\/strong>In the case of Music in the Park we look for several things that seem basic to us. On one side, we want to offer to the public the different ways of approaching the music that each culture has, so it is important that the musical proposal is close to these cultural sources of their countries or regions of origin.We also take into account that our concerts are held on Sundays at noon, and that normally the audience wants to have fun and spend a joyful morning, with the mood that defines the Canaries. That is why we are looking for proposals according to this, that are cheerful.And finally, and most importantly, within our possibilities, we look for artists of great musical quality, of proposals that make the audience leave the concert with the desire to continue consuming this musical style, the World Music.<\/div>\n

MM – Which are the global objectives of your festival?<\/strong><\/div>\n

BP:\u00a0<\/strong>We pursue two main objectives:<\/div>\n
