MANdolinMAN, Belgiums finest mandolin quartet, plays traditional Flemish tunes. Founded in the summer of 2011, the foursome has since toured in Belgium, Holland, Canada, Brasil and Scotland. Their first album, ‘Old Tunes, Dusted Down’, is a musical tribute to the unique fieldwork of Hubert Boone (°1940). Just like Alan Lomax followed in his fathers footsteps, Huberts son Andries Boone (mandolin) started the MANdolinMAN project. Together with three kindred spirits - Maarten Decombel (mandocello), Dirk Naessens (mandolin) and Peter-Jan Daems (mandola) - Andries fathers notations were brought back to life. Being played on a very well-known instrument as the mandolin, the ‘local’ melodies from the small villages from Flanders become timeless and universal. Even a trained ear will find it difficult to locate some of the origins. Its good to know some people still do this kind of music.
