Guest of the month (December)

Castelinho38 is honored to present the guest of the month, Mike Marshall, one of the best mandolin, guitar and violin performers in the world.

Mike left behind the cold weather for the tropics on his tour of Brazil, where he performed in Sao Paulo, Curitiba and Rio de Janeiro.

In Rio de Janeiro, Mike shared the stage with another great mandolinist, brazilian musician Hamilton de Holanda. Together they left the crowd speechless at the Centro Cultural Carioca with the rhythmic beats and lilting chords of the choro (a traditional brazilian musical form originating in Rio de Janeiro). The Centro Cultural Carioca, www.centroculturalcarioca.com.br which has been hugely supportive of brazilian music such as Samba, MPB and Jazz, is now the newest partner of Castelinho38.

We were ecstatic to have Mike stay in Castelinho38 for his 5 day stint in Rio, filling our breezy rooms with his humor, charisma and music.

We wish you the best Mike, and you’re definitely in our hit parade.
