The booking agency Marmaduke S.L. was founded in 2012 by the initiative of Ivan Pivotti, who has been active internationally since 2003 in other agencies of the same sector. It is the only company of its sector in Andalusia and the volume of work is due to the specific knowledge of the sector, both in its artistic side, as well as in the logistical and organisational aspects. Since its foundation, it has been dedicated to the booking of international jazz bands to festivals and theatres in Spain.
It produces the Sevilla Swing (since 2013) and JazZahara (since 2022) festivals, is the driving force behind the European projects SoundRoutes – Notes for Getting Closer and Swinging Europe (since 2017) and is present at the most important fairs in the sector (JazzAhead, Womex, MMVV, etc).
