The Cinelli Brothers live in Ilha de Santa Maria

Experience The Cinelli Brothers live on July 18th

The Cinelli Brothers are scheduled to perform at the Cristovão Colombo Cultural Center on Ilha de Santa Maria, Azores, Portugal on July 18, 2026. The group is recognized for their distinctive blend of Italian folk music, particularly tarantella, with influences from jazz, classical, and world music traditions. They are known for energetic live performances featuring mandolin, guitar, violin, and vocals, often incorporating improvisation and virtuosic instrumental work.

The Cristovão Colombo Cultural Center is located in Vila do Porto, on the island of Santa Maria. Originally constructed as a primary school in the early 20th century – specifically inaugurated in 1938 – the building underwent significant renovation to transform it into a multi-purpose cultural venue. It now serves as a key location for artistic expression and community events on the island. The center hosts a range of activities including theatre performances, concerts, exhibitions and workshops. Its architecture reflects regional styles and represents an important part of Santa Maria’s heritage. The building is managed by the Câmara Municipal de Vila do Porto (Vila do Porto Municipal Council).
