Bremen’s 22nd Carnival, with the theme “Industrial”, was a great platform for Rhythms of Resistance, action samba, to raise awareness about the G8 and put out a loud and clear call to mobilise against the G8, which this year is in Germany. The band, dressed as workmen, wearing hard helmets and boiler suits, was pulling a wagon with the rich corporate-profit-seeking-suit-wearing monsters comfortably sitting in the wagon holding thought-provoking speech bubbles exposing the G8’s exploitation.

The band, during the 2 hour parade, gave out 1,200 leaflets and attracted media attention. The political aspect of the band’s participation in the Carnival was exposed to more than 10,000 people watching the parade at the Carnival, and was warmly welcomed by most.
