Carnival Collective more detailspublicityaudio
A dynamic group of musicians, dancers and artists who combine break-beat percussion, reggae, funk, house and other dance influences - played on traditional Brazilian instruments - with a hot horn section, funky dancers, guitars, bass, electronics and some innovative vocalists. They raise the temperature, the tempo and the volume at stages, nightclubs, parades, open-air venues and a myriad of other events.

Here, in possibly the most boot-wrenching gluepot of the entire festival site, an extraordinary group of musicians in turquoise shirts, waistcoats, hats or turquoise-dyed hair danced around in their Wellington boots and hammered out an intoxicating rhythm from saxophones, trumpets and all manner of percussive instruments. "Just don't call us a salsa band," said the Carnival Collective, who, despite their Latin American-style massed ranks and hip-swinging dancers, come from the Sussex coast - their sound not so much Batucada as live drum'n'bass..."
