Daniel Bacchieri Wants to Create the World’s Biggest Network of Street Musicians

The act was simple: Daniel Bacchieri posting a video of a bandurist performing on the street in Kiev, Ukraine. But when the burgeoning filmmaker and producer returned to his home in Brazil, he decided to do it again.

“I started to film street musicians in Brazil and upload them onto my personal account,” he says. “I thought, every day I am going to film musicians in São Paulo. My friends started to tell me, ‘Oh, on my last trip I filmed one guy in Barcelona.’ And, ‘Hey, I have one guy playing piano in New York on my cell phone. Can I send to you?’ From that point, my personal project became a collaboration.”

And so, Street Music Map (@streetmusicmap), a curated feed of global street musicians, was born. Two years, 925 artists and 81 countries later, it has become one of the top street musician video hubs in the world, allowing Daniel to connect with performers in some unexpected ways — like the time he reposted a girl playing harp in Red Square in Moscow and she identified herself in the comments.

“I want to make Street Music Map the biggest platform about street music,” he says. “The place where bands can connect with fans all over the world and a place for curators and people who want to find the real deal, the next big thing.”
