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?
David A. Gordon
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.

Very cool!
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 !
Mandopolis Festival will be on 6/7/8 july, starting with "Parfum d'al Andalus", arabo-andalousian music.
On the 2nd day, we'll have Fabio Gallucci playing the duet Guarracino (napolitan songs), Sérénades including Gabriella Aiello, Pietro Cernuto (Italy) as singers, and the indian dancer Armelle Choquard, a dance with Tornamai, and on sunday, Sam Karpienia and the duet Claire Luzi / Cristiano Nascimento.
Regards !
Céline
Picked this up on Amazon and love, love it! Particularly like the Gaucho video.
1918 Gibson A, "Lillian";
1940s (?) Kay A style f hole - currently down for a refret and fretboard re-profile, my first attempts (with guidance) at lutherie.
1981 Washburn M7SN (2 point);
2011 Eastman 504, "Belle";
2012 Lafferty mahogany octave mandolin;
2012 Emando (Saga), "Hank"
1 husband, 2 dogs, 4 chickens.
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!

I hope to go to their Mandopolis festival in early July. They are fantastic!
David A. Gordon
That was awesome, easily the best mandolin quartet video ever made.
Booked my flights to Nice!
Anyone else going?
David A. Gordon
really great! I love them...
Tom
Who finds a mistake, may it gladly keep
I'm not finding any information of this year's Mandopolis event. Is it really going on? Anyone have dates, lineup, info, or web page?
Thanks,
It is on from 5-7 July, but I don't see anything on the internet either.
I don't think it is for me to make any announcements about the line-up etc, but I see no harm in saying that I will be giving a solo performance on Sunday &th at the Mandoworld Cafe and probably doing another set there on Saturday with an Indian mandolin player called Diptanshu Roy.
