Most people participating in a lip dub: City of Vic sets world record (HD Video)
VIC, Barcelona, Spain--5771 participants from all the Catalan regions danced and hopped in the streets of old-town Vic to the rhythm of La Flama by the Valencian band Obrint Pas during the 'Lipdub per la Independència '
- setting the new world record for the Most people participating in a lip dub (outdoor).

In the first general rehearsal, the result seemed to be satisfactory, but organisers decided to repeat the filming just in case.
So the flame –as indeed it was, to the sound of the song La Flama (The Flame)- once again toured the streets of the Old Town and triumphantly entered the Main square, and once more proved that the demand for Catalan independence can bring together people of all ages in a peaceful atmosphere.
La Flama by the Valencian band Obrint Pas was the song that accompanied the camera as it toured the narrow streets of the old town on its way to the central square, where most of the participants were concentrated.
This filming, somewhat complex due to the great number of attending people, was assisted by a large number of volunteers, and participated by folk culture colles, associations and groups.
Apparently, Guinness World Records denied the petition submitted by the organisers when they began to broadcast the initiative.
Despite their protest, after they sent in definitions of a lipdub by acknowledged experts, the promoters of Lipdub per la Independència did not receive a positive answer to have their attempt recognized as a Guinness World Record.
The event was one of the largest human concentrations in the last decades of history of Vic, if not the largest.
The organisers chose the song La Flama by Obrint Pas, and the film, shot in the streets of the old town of the capital of Osona, shows some of the main folk traditions of the country.
The world record attempt was sponsored by: Ajuntament de Vic (www.ajvic.cat );
Celler d'Osona (www.cellerdosona.com );
Club Estic Plana de Vic (clubestic.vicentitats.cat);
