We have just spent five days surrounded by deep snow, minus temperatures, frozen rivers and reindeer in Lapland. Passing back and forth between Sweden and Finland our minibus driver insisted on playing music so far removed from this white sparse unpopulated landscape it soon became an inseparable part of a memorable trip.
Rio De Janerio at over 11,000 kilometres away and we were driving (and dancing) around to the rhythms of Samba music - and then on our last night he gave Margaret the CD as a memento.
This therefore is 'Samba De Janerio' by German pop group Bellini. Let's Carnival in the snow !

For those interested this track was a European wide hit in 1997 - the main theme is sampled from the Airto Moreira song 'Tombo in 7/4'.
