Araujo was born in Villafranca, Spain. By 1670 he was nominated maestro di capella of Lima Cathedral. In the following years he travelled to Panama and most probably to Guatemala. On his return to Peru, he was hired as maestro di capella of Cuzco cathedral and in 1680 of Sucre Cathedral in Bolivia, where he stayed until his death.
