Later they meet a brass band playing classical movie soundtracks. Two 15 minutes processions with a 40 minutes show with fun and music.

Sometimes the group has a little debate: some would like to play rock'n'roll, some would prefer other genres but at the end they always settle to do their best to entertain the crowd with great music! The Vega Brothers, an electric band straight out from a Quentin Tarantino film plays a 70's repertoire made legendary by the afore-mentioned director.
