 The name reflects the historical connection of the Mandolin with Italy, the Nylon String Guitar with Spain as well as some of the used Percussion.The renaissance tone of the Mandolin, the improvisation and the construction of melodies and harmonies on the Greek modes, the harmonic ("Arabic") and Spanish scales and the use of the diatonic and pentatonic scales in a South-European perspective, equally suggest the mediterranic influence and sound of this trio.The use of the Mediterranic term in 'English', comes from the Celtic and American Folk influences in some songs, as well as the form as in the Mandolin is sometimes executed.
