El Gran Mono

Direct from the Caribbean coast of Colombia, picó soundsystem culture has arrived in Australia. Pićo are huge, hand- painted fluorescent speaker stacks, often found blasting tropical music in the poorer neighbourhoods of cities such as Barranquilla, Cartagena and Santa Marta. El Gran Mono is Melbourne's own picó, painted by the great Colombia soundsystem artist  William “El Maestro” Gutierrez and the first of it's kind in the world to be built outside Colombia.
