Musicians from Melbourne's best salsa, jazz, funk and Cuban big bands come together in LABJACD - a dynamic nine-piece band who mix up hip-hop, Cuban salsa, jazz and Andean folk music.

Combining extensive musical expertise with their Chilean heritage, LABJACD are equally at home alongside Australia's premier hip-hop groups as among some of the best world music artists from around the globe.

Lighting up stages and dance floors at major festivals including WOMADelaide and the Falls Festival, LABJACD invite you to Vote with your Feet - the title of their latest album.

Stay late to see Dexter perform his music from a million islands DJ set. Proclaimed by hip-hop icon Grandmaster Flash as the world's most creative and original DJ, see the four-time DMC Australian Champion mix world music moments including snake charming melodies from Morocco, Japanese Taiko drum battles, African war chants, Irish gypsy fun, New York Latin boogaloo, mountain hillbilly round ups, future Holland hip hop, West Papua head hunting stomps and much more!
