Madre Monte and Lamine Sonko & the African Intelligence will submerse into Fitzroy’s Evelyn Hotel for a month of African and Colombian rhythms, mixed with a good dose of reggae, ska and salsa grooves and Colombian mythology each Tuesday throughout September. The four week residency will see Madre Monte and Lamine Sonko & the African Intelligence supported by local Melbourne bands representing the diverse cultural and musical demographic of the city, from Latin American folk to psychedelic instrumental jazz, trip-rock to straight up funk.
