Plus, the folks will be collaborating with GOODSTUPH to release limited edition Mambo Jambo tees, so get them fast!

Final Mambo Jambo is happening on Wednesday, 30 November 2016 from 11pm till late at Zouk. Cover charge is priced at $28 (ladies) and $33 (gentlemen). For more details, check out the event page here.
