Tänavamuusikud, also known as street musicians, are performers who entertain in public spaces, often on sidewalks, in parks, or at public squares. Their performances are typically offered free of charge, with the expectation that audiences will provide voluntary donations. Tänavamuusikud can be found in cities and towns around the world, contributing to the vibrant atmosphere of urban environments.

The repertoire of tänavamuusikud is diverse, ranging from classical pieces and folk songs to contemporary popular music and original compositions. Instruments commonly used include guitars, violins, pianos, accordions, and even more unusual instruments. Solo performers are common, but duos and small ensembles also frequently appear. The skill level of tänavamuusikud varies widely, from amateur enthusiasts to highly accomplished professional musicians seeking to share their art or supplement their income.

Street performing often involves navigating local regulations and obtaining permits, as many municipalities have specific rules governing public performances. Despite these potential challenges, tänavamuusikud play an important role in the cultural landscape, offering spontaneous entertainment and creating a lively ambiance for passersby. Their presence can transform ordinary public spaces into impromptu concert venues, fostering a sense of community and shared experience. The practice of street performing has a long history, evolving alongside urban development and public life.
