Mapamundo's self-titled album is a musical journey that takes the listener on a global adventure. The band's unique sound blends elements of world music, jazz, and rock, resulting in a rich and diverse sonic landscape.
The album opens with the energetic "Baila," featuring lively percussion and a catchy melody that transports the listener to a Latin American dance party. This is followed by the dreamy "Mai," which showcases the band's ability to create a lush and atmospheric sound.

The album closes with "Mapamundo," a fitting finale that brings together all of the band's influences into one epic track. The song builds to a climactic finish, leaving the listener feeling as though they've just embarked on a truly global adventure.
