Republic of Swing at Big Drum Day, Astley Hall, Chorley 2009 (Part 3 of 5)

Republic of SwingBrazil meets Chorley, the public were treated to a colourful event for free in Astley Hall's Walled Garden at Astley Park, Chorley.

Dance, Percussion and Drum groups from around the North West blended music styles from africa to brazil, a fusion of sound you only find at big carnivals, mixed in with traditional dancing. The event was a success and I for one would like to see it repeated in places like Manchester, the crowd watched the cream of groups from the north west giving a fine display on their buildup to participating in upcoming carnivals.

Last act was Republic of Swing, a group from Manchester.

Republic of Swing are Manchester based and concentrate on playing only the fast Rio carnival Samba (Batucada) and the latest Samba-Funk grooves.

This is the third video of 5 from this group
