U2’s Larry Mullen and the World’s Largest Samba Band

Larry Mullen Jr. has always had a soft spot for drummers who walk around while playing. Before he joined the group that would become U2, he was in a marching band run by the local post office. He’s been paying things forward for quite a while now, especially with underprivileged kids.

Take a look at what he’s doing in Brazil with the world’s largest samba band.
