Mediterraneo Productions was founded to bring world-class performing artists to perform and teach in Santa Cruz, California. We focus on the traditional music and dance of the many fascinating and diverse regions surrounding the Mediterranean and beyond, from Spanish flamenco to Transylvanian tanchaz, with a special focus on Oriental-style and folk dances from Egypt, Lebanon, and Turkey, as well as classical and popular Arabic music, the folk dances and music of Hungary, Transylvania, the Balkans, and North Africa. However, we believe, as the late great Louis Armstrong is quoted to have said "there are only two kinds of music: good music and bad music!" [and dance], so we are open to working with talented artists from other geographic regions as well, performing in popular genres such as Caribbean salsa and traditional American jazz. If you are planning to visit California and would like to perform or teach in the Santa Cruz area, please contact us for more information.
Please note: we are a small-scale operation, producing, at most, one major event and several smaller events per year. Zsuzsi, a part-time dancer and music student based in Santa Cruz County, is the owner and founder of Mediterraneo Productions.
