Two giants of Australia’s sound system community make a long awaited return together for a huge night of positive vibrations on Saturday 17 June at the Howler Theatre in Brunswick.After a series of immensely successful shows together in past years, Melbourne’s original reggae and dub sound system Heartical Hi-Powa will again come together with Colombian style picó sound system, El Gran Mono in this cultural exchange of Caribbean sound system styles.
Since it’s conception in 2002, Heartical Hi-Powa has made a significant contribution to Australia’s musical landscape. In 2018, Melbourne also became home to El Gran Mono—the first picó sound system built outside Colombia. This event will bring both together for a night dedicated to sharing the music and cultures that birthed these two unique local icons.
El Gran Mono will feature picótero (DJs) JNETT, Jumps, and Julia Towers, together with electrifying MC Kaimán Jiménez and the mesmerising percussion of Jason Heerah
Heretical Hi-Powa will feature Stryka D at the Controls with MC Stick Mareebo, plus support from the Hi-Powa Crew.
We acknowledge that we are on traditional lands of the Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri peoples of the Kulin Nations. We offer our respect to the Elders of these traditional lands and, through them, to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
