I saw these guys in Bellingen.  there was a flood.  thousands of campers stranded, elbowing themselves into the pub, where a little flamenco band expected to be playing to a few Sunday afternoon drinkers, but instead had a whole city of festival refugees.  They held their own.  It was great.  After some negotiating, we have them in the last couple of weeks before they too leave for Europe.  Here's what they say:

Los Monos is a Sydney based group of flamenco loving musicians.  From their origins as three tree climbing companions busking in the tunnels of central station, Los Tres Monos began composing arousing melodies of Spanish and Latin flavors in order to make people yell "ole!" and dance around in circles.

This was all to change when they were approached by a roaming singer from Cadiz and a charming, yet dangerous pianist.  The culmination of musical backgrounds and desire to make people smile and move has resulted in a unique Australian blend of flamenco puro and Latin jazz.  Each of the Monos have impressive musical CV's that include respective bachelors in music and extensive touring nationally and internationally. They are also often joined by renowned Sydney Latin and Flamenco artists.
