The picó, an iconic symbol of the Colombian Caribbean culture, is a powerful sound system composed of a console, amplifiers and Due to their rise in popularity around that time, Picós have a strong relationship with popular music from the 1970s and 1980s - in particular in West and Central African music styles, but nowadays the propensity for innovation through modern digital production is very strong in Colombia as well. The Picó crowds and producers consume and reproduce everything from Soca, Zouk,Mbaqanga, Vallenato, Salsa, Dancehall, Soukous, contemporary Nigerian pop, Champeta - incorporating their own indigenous African rhythms, language and cultural understanding in a beautiful and diverse musical stew. The recordcollectors and musical librarians Dj Nomad (Berlin) and Edna Martinez (Cartagena de Indias) put together their experience and excitement in this music and culture to create the first authentic Berlin Pico party, with: "El Volcán - El Orgullo de Berlín".They share their selection and invite the best Dj's of the scene. Aesthetics as well as food and dance, are all ingredients for an unforgetable experience. Welcome to 'EL VOLCAN' - Berlin's own Picó Party!

Don Alirio
Carlos Mojica aka Don Alirio is from Barranquilla, he is curator, selector, collector and music researcher with focus on the study and protection of the sounds of Latin America and Africa. His huge musical selection is a tribute to the neighborhood, to popular dances and sound systems absent from pretensions, where professing devotion to a unique element is professed: music. Define the identity of a neighborhood, a city, a country or continent, it is always possible to do it through music and thats what Don Alirio delivers, an exciting and doubting dialogue between public and pentagram, eliminating any type of boundary between rhythms and genres, telling stories that mark the process of globalization of a universe of discs that reached the Colombian coast.
