'MANDOLINQUENTS'
Caratinga
hosted by Simon Mayor, Gerald Garcia, Richard Collins and Hilary James

A regular series of events hosted by The Mandolinquents. Each month Britain's first modern mandolin quartet are inviting some of the finest folk and world musicians in the UK today to join them for their series of intimate gigs featuring musical virtuosity and humour.

Hosts The Mandolinquents were joined by Caratinga. Unique in the UK, Caratinga play music from Brazil's richest and most beautiful traditions; samba and its instrumental twin style choro. With dazzling acoustic interplay, infectious rhythms and gorgeous songs from over a century of Brazilian music, Caratinga have delighted audiences at festivals, theatres and arts centres throughout the UK.

“Caratinga bring together two rich and intertwined Brazilian traditions in a festival of bliss”
