        Why we did this
        Because we love to play samba and 
        Sunday 5th September was the last day of our little samba festival 'Encontro Atlantico' in Cornwall UK. 
        We intended to form a mass bloco of all the local and visiting bands (around 500 sambistas) for the finale. 
        We approached Guinness World Records to try for the largest UK percussion performance, but they will only accept an attempt on the world record. In the UK we cannot break the existing record, but the record attempt can be made in multiple venues at the same time. 
        If enough sambistas / percussionists worldwide joined us, we could all set a new world record. 
        This could benefit everyone 
        
          - Raise the profile of your band / community group.
 
          - Get some media attention.
 
          - Show the world just how big samba has become.
 
         
        Many thanks to all who took part, you have planted a seed.
