New CD: Mike Marshall & Alessandro Penezzi Mandolin and Guitar

Unbelieveable energy in these recordings!

Mike and Alessandro rip through 11 classic Brazilian Choros from Jacob do Bandolim, Pixinguinha and others. With chops and soul in abundance these two string wizards send this music flying.

Mike had been a long time awaiting his meeting one of his favorite Brazilian guitarists, Alessandro Penezzi.

Finally in October of 2024 Alessandro was traveling through Germany and the two spend a very intense weekend together in Wuppertal.

It all culminated with one local concert and this studio recording the next day.
Fireworks flew as these two string wizards danced through 11 classic Brazilian Choro tunes.
