Thank you, my cat's now think I'm insane. You should have seen the looks they were giving me as I danced around the living room. Or maybe they were just glaring at me for not being able to do anything even remotely resembling Samba dance moves.

Well you did better than I could. I wouldn't know how to do a samba dance.

Here's an off-game post, and then I'll get back in line with a word match.

This is called "The Wedding Samba", from Trinidad singer Edmundo Ros. I first heard it as part of the sound track to the movie "A Good Year" (great movie), crazy catchy song, but I was thinking who was this singer trying to fool, or did he really think there is a Mexican samba? But my error was in thinking he was singing about the Rio Grande Valley around the border of Mexico and Texas. He was referring to the region of Brazil known as Rio Grande do Sul, which has cultural similarities to Argentina, Uruguay, Mexico and South Texas, owing to the presence of Spain in the so-called "new world". The region had cattle ranches, gauchos, fiesta, and music very similar to mariachi.
