As part of Leaps and Bounds Music Festival, Bar Open presents a long-awaited Colombian Independence Day Party like no other.

Renowned local bands Madre Monte (Woodford Folk Festival, 2015; The Cat Empire – National Tour, 2014; MOFO, 2012) and Miss Colombia (Darwin Festival, 2016; Brunswick Music Festival, 2016; Melbourne Fringe Club, 2016, 2015) bring a party pumping the fresh sounds of Colombian music where old and new rhythms get down.

Expect music that goes beyond generic tags like “fusion” or “world music”, and digs freely into the realms of Andean folk, punk, cumbia, free jazz, pop and psychedelia. DJ Don Salazar will top it all up!
