Beautifully shot video, beautiful instruments and above all beautiful music. Fantastic!

wow! Superbe! The ensemble playing, the tonality of the instruments, the composition and the concept - all incroyable. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Celine. That was a really enjoyable piece.

Agreed.

One of my favourite groups.

What's happening with Mandopolis this year, Celine?

**Jim Garber** · May-16-2012, 8:33am

That is great Céline. Thanks for posting. Is there a new CD coming out with this kind of music?

Love how they pump the table for the bass beat. So technically efficient and cohesive. Wow! Lovely to listen to...easy on the ears. A refreshing change from the usual BG stuff mostly shown around here.

I can never understand why they are not much better known. They don't even seem to play out much, as far as I can make out from their website.

Gaucho is on the Au Sud De La Mandoline (1998) CD,

Wonderful.

Thanks, Dagger... hey, you found their website? I have not been able to.

It is also quite difficult to find their CDs here in North America. Céline, can you do something about that? They should just have it downloadable.

**DSDarr** · May-17-2012, 2:20pm

Beautiful! More please!

Hi Jim,

Unfortunatly, Meloniousquart.com is down due to a problem with our hosting (hate them !). But mandopolis.org is still available. We have a facebook too...

You can download "La miugrana" there : http://1d-paca.com/en/artist/melonious-quartet

Unfortunatly, the other CDs are out of print... We are planning to release a new one.

Regards,

Celine

Hi Dagger !

Picked this up on Amazon and love, love it! Particularly like the Gaucho video.

Maybe this is obvious, Céline, but maybe it is time to find another hosting service. There must be hundreds like here in the US. If you have problems with them, it is time to move on. Thanks, Mo Soar for the Amazon mention. I have the En Forme and La Miugrana and the Kepa Junkera one as well. Just need the "Sud" one. Amazon has it for download. Excellent!

**Dan Hoover** · May-22-2012, 7:00pm

yes..love it..very cool..

Sure for the website, and in the meantime I will have it translated in english.
I just need time...
