We have joined a Samba music band called Sambalanco. It has about 20-25 fantastic, friendly members and is a great way to make some noise!

Samba is a loud, proud, rhythmic style of music that is made with a variety of instruments that include the Cowbells, Shakers, Tambourine and a variety of snare drums, small contra drums and the larger base drums.

Pete plays the Number 1 Serdu drum whilst I have the more delicate but just as noisy Tambourine and at least I can dance with mine!

Once I have been more, I will learn all their correct names of the instruments. We have even been practicing in Hastings Town Centre in preparation for Jack in the Green on 5th May 2008.

Pete on the Serdu

Kim on the Tambourine

We often go for a drink at The Street after practice
