*An Ethiopian Marching Band for "Day of the African Child"*

I took this video from a rooftop cafe in Piazza. Total luck on my part -- I had no idea the band would be there. I heard them as they were coming up from the Churchill Road (west) side of the cafe. Luckily I had about 3 mins of video left on my SD card, just enough time to catch the best moments of the performance from by bird's eye view.

Recorded on Monday, June 15, the performance was to recognize and raise awareness for "Day of the African Child - June 16, 2009."

@GUMAONE Yes, in fact in Italy some squares/crossing areas have been modfied by circulation in cricle instead of traffic lights..I mean some 3/4 years ago..It is something that has been adopted also in France..so

omg. This is the best i have seen i tell ya that. The line formation looks flawless even from birds eye view. The weather looks goreagous. nd the fact that when it's all done in a matter of sec, the whole chaotic scene came back. Priceless...

what a confusion? God......

Who are you kidding, dummy?

[GUMAONE]

It is not about affording a traffic light or not. That is what the circle is there for. This circle has been there for years. And circles are better for traffic flow than traffic lights.

That was nice shot. The traffic is scary though. My goodness we can't even afford trafic lights.
