monkey. is a Vienna/Berlin based label, publishing house and communication agency dealing with innovative music ranging from pop/rock to electronica/avantgarde jazz. 

We do have a long experience in A&R consulting, production and promotion - for Universal Music, Zomba, Warner and BMG Germany, for instance - but decided to run our own company to be able to serve dedicated music lovers (like ourselves) in a more creative and flexible way. 

Having started in 2000, monkey. cooperates with companies like P&G (Hugo Boss), Austria Tabakwerke (Nil) or BMW (Mini).

We prepare agencies, film/advertising producers and professionals in any branch with premium indie sounds at affordable prizes. 

Our artist roster consists of Bauchklang, Ernst Molden, Son Of The Velvet Rat, When The Music's Over and some more upcoming bands and projects.

Besides, we're exploring new ways of business - i.e., we installed Austrias first "CD on demand" store at the "Museums Quartier" in Vienna.

Created in 2008, Mama Julia y los Sonidos Ambulantes mix traditional Afro-Colombian music with urban influences. The band's rhythmic grounding heaves with traditional percussion from Colombia's two coasts - African-derived drums, accompanied by the sweet jungle sound of the Pacific marimba de chonta. The band's itinerant sound grows out of a confluence of the urban and rural. Traditional genres like cumbia, and currulao meet rock, jazz and funk head on. Their songs reflect the life and laughs of Colombia's people, recreating everyday revelry in musical form. 

2015 saw the launch of the band's second studio album (el rebusque). The accompanying Rebusque Tour began in Colombia and continues with European dates in Belgium and Holland. 

Previous international experience includes dates in Europe and Asia. In 2013 Mama Julia undertook their Tour Ambulante Europa, performing nearly 50 times in Holland, Germany and Italy. In 2012 the band completed their first international tour in India at the invitation of the Colombian Embassy. 

Accolades include the Shock Magazine Award for Best Band, Mi Música, 2010. 

The band was born out of various research projects on traditional and urban Afro-Colombian musics, directed by their bandleader and founder Joaquín Salcedo.
