Indeed, you have created a mapping with the name of a redirect
(Info_artista_musical) that points to an inbobox template. When
extracting data, the framework is looking for templates on Wikipedia
pages having this name. If people use the redirect name in Wikipedia
instead of the canonical name of the template (Info/Música/artista),
it is possible to extract data using your mapping. This is why it
works for these examples:
http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armin_van_Buuren
http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billie_Holiday

But there is no Wikipedia page that uses the redirect name
Info_Genero_musical. Every page about music genres in the Portuguese
Wikipedia seems to use the canonical name Info/Gênero_musical.
Therefore, the test mapping for Info_Genero_musical does not produces
any output.

We should definitely fix this. Creating mappings for the canonical
name of infoboxes is the right thing to do, because then all infoboxes
can be extracted: that ones that use the canonical name and the ones
that use redirect names (they are resolved to the canonical name).

I can propose another work-around until this is fixed. You can
download the extraction framework [1] and start it in server mode. In
the input box that will appear in your browser, you can enter the URI
of the article you would like to extract. For example, I tested it for
Rock_and_roll, Samba and House_music of the Portuguese Wikipedia,
which all use the template Info/Gênero_musical.
I know this is not as convenient as the test mappings, but maybe it is
a possibility until we fixed the bug.

Cheers,
Max
