Hi! We’re María Jesús and Raimundo. We’re from Chile and currently in Europe on our second Working Holiday visa. We lived in France for a year, and now we’re traveling around the continent, really excited to explore everything Europe has to offer.

We’re street artists — we travel by sharing our art because we strongly believe that art opens doors and should be for everyone, not just for those who can afford it.

We’re pro-Palestine, passionate, and critical of today’s society.
We absolutely love being outdoors, discovering new places, and learning from nature.

We’re both huge anime fans — we’re up to date with One Piece, haha!
I (María) love Balkan music, ska, reggae, Arabic pop, Arabic traditional music, cumbia, electro-folk, and Latin karaoke classics.
Raimundo enjoys everything from salsa, Chilean cueca, and rap to Japanese city pop.
We both share a deep love for boleros and Peruvian waltzes, so you’re more than welcome to join us for an evening of singing and listening to boleros with a couple of beers!

Hola! Somos Maria Jesus y Raimundo. Somos de Chile, estamos en el continente en nuestra segunda Visa working Holiday. Vivimos un año en Francia y ahora estamos recorriendo Europa. Estamos muy motivados en recorrer lo que el continente europeo puede ofrecernos.

Somos artistas callejeros, viajamos mostrando nuestro arte ya que creemos firmemente que el arte abre puertas y es para todos. No solo para quien pueda pagarlo.

Somos pro palestina, apasionados y críticos de la sociedad actual. Amamos mucho estar al aire libre, conocer y aprender de la naturaleza.

Ambos amamos el animé, estamos al día en One piece jeje. Yo, María amo la musica balcánica, el ska, , reggae, pop árabe, música árabe, cumbia, electrofolk y karaoke de old lady latina , Raimundo le gusta de todo desde la salsa, cueca chilena, rap hasta el city pop de Japón. Con Raimundo compartimos el amor por los boleros y vals peruano así que eres bienvenido a pasar una velada cantando y escuchando boleros con unas cervezas.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Exploring the Amazon rainforest.

Meeting quokkas and other incredible animals in Australia.

Traveling to Brazil with my Balkan band — and being “adopted” by a Brazilian family who invited us to spend Carnival with them and share beautiful moments in their home with their whole family.
