    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,

    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.

    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

    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'm not finding any information of this year's Mandopolis event. Is it really going on? Anyone have dates, lineup, info, or web page?

    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.
