La Noche del Gato - Johnston Street Fiesta After-Party

The Night Cat
137-141 Johnston St, Fitzroy, Melbourne Australia

Johnston Street Fiesta is now in its 46th year celebrating Hispanic and Latin American culture with dance, music, and food throughout the last weekend in February. La Noche Del Gato with El Gran Mono will be THE place to be following the Fiesta.

El Gran Mono is the first picó sound system built outside of Colombia. Picó are huge, hand-painted fluorescent speaker stacks, often found playing tropical music in the ‘barrios’ of cities such as Barranquilla, Cartagena and Santa Marta.

El Gran Mono, or ‘The Great Ape,’ features stunning artwork painted by the great Colombian sound system artist William ‘El Maestro’ Gutierrez. The result is a collaboration between Melbourne record collectors Tom Noonan and Johnny El Pájaro in consultation with key members of the picó community in Colombia, making El Gran Mono Australia's own authentic picó.

We acknowledge that this event will be held on Wurundjeri land of the Kulin Nation and recognise that sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging.
