CARIBE CARNAVAL

  • Kensington St Kensington St, Chippendale 2008 Australia (map)

On the final night of the Sydney Fringe Festival 2023 immerse yourself in an explosion of Caribbean culture, as picó sound system collective EL GRAN MONO take over the city’s most eclectic eat street, Kensington Street. 

Dance the night away to tropical music pumping from the picó – a huge, hand-painted fluorescent style of speaker stack, often found in the neighbourhoods of coastal Colombian cities such as Barranquilla, Cartagena and Santa Marta. The first in the world to be built outside Colombia!

Joining EL GRAN MONO for the night is MC Kaimán Jiménez, with picótero (DJs) Carlo Xavier, Señor Bolivar, La Foxy Fuzz and Tropicante, together with dance performances by Wendy Nedd Yepes, and the incredible Sabor Carnavalero dancers.

Do not miss this chance to experience an authentic taste of The Caribbean on the last night of the Festival.
