The brass band doing what they do best
The Orquestra's bloco has been one of the highlights of Carnival since it first appeared in 2008, attracting some 5,000 people to the rhythm of their really, really big drums. Now the crowd sized has multiplied and the band have become famous, forcing them to the Aterro Flamengo so as not to bring any more of the city to a standstill than is absolutely necessary. The cheeky covers of Michael Jackson and Marvin Gaye will get the masses pogoing, but its the all out passion in every trumpet parp and toot and the crowd interaction that makes them live long in the memory.
