An AWESOME 7 piece band playing original music inspired by Latin America and other landscapes. So incredible, it will knock your nickers off! ;)

From the world's great Bossa Cool / Surf Jazz exponent. 

Hard hitting horns funkin’ up 50s style Cumbia, a tight rhythm section dissecting Afro-Colombian progressions, skankin’ guitars infusing reggae grooves, and a front man recreating the ancient mythological stories of Colombia all intertwine to create what is now Melbourne’s unique 9-piece Latin Reggae outfit Madre Monte.
