On Mondays: Mariachi
Mariachi is one of the most iconic musical expressions in Mexico, with roots that date back to at least the 18th century in western Mexico.

At Ziggy Beach Club, Monday evenings celebrate this rich heritage with a performance full of character, emotion and cultural depth.
On Tuesdays: Buena Chaplin
Buena Chaplin, also known as La Buena Chaplín, is an instrumental music project based in Tulum. Their style blends Latin and Brazilian influences with gypsy jazz, funk and soul, creating a sound that is both sophisticated and lively. Their performances are dynamic and immersive, making Tuesday night at Ziggy Beach Club an excellent choice for guests who enjoy rhythm, energy and an eclectic musical atmosphere by the sea.
