Daniel Bacchieri is the founder of Street Music Map (@streetmusicmap), a curated feed of global street musicians. Since the Brazil-based director began the project, he’s been able to connect with performers all over the world — sometimes in the most unexpected of ways. Here, we’ll let Daniel explain:
“The freakiest thing just happened. I reposted a girl playing harp in Red Square in Moscow — no name, just the user. The girl identified herself! She followed the hashtags — because I always hashtag the areas, the instrument, the place. If I identify the song, I hashtag the song and who wrote it. I think she was looking for something about Red Square. And I was like, ‘Is it really you?’”
