My typical event is I show up set up my gear and play music. Every once in a while there can be others involved in the entertainment. I have played with a mariachi, or a banda, or just other musicians and or singers. If anything else is involved other than me playing I have to prepare for it. I knew the wife of the birthday boy was getting a samba group to perform at the party. I reached out to the group to make sure I had the music they needed. I had to play them in a certain order right after one another. 

 At the party they were giving toasts and I had to cue the samba team to get ready. 3 dancers came out with a drummer. They brought the energy with them. They danced to about 8 songs then they were interactive with the group the whole time. They brought in guests to do a routine and everyone loved what they saw. They had a contest on who danced the best from the guests. The lead Samaba Dancer took the wireless mic and was leading the new dancers.

It was an awesome show and entertaining. It is one way to spice up a party is to have an interactive dance group lead the entertainment. I can tell the guests enjoyed themselves. They were easy to work with since they were able to share their playlist with me and I was able to cue their dance song for the guests to learn  at the right time. If you look up the group it is called Sambaconmigo. I was very impressed.
