When we were in Uganda earlier in the week I played you a funky track from a compilation album which goes by the snappy title of "Mr Bongo Record Club Volume 1". Here are a couple more that have another link as well.
Amazones de Guinee were an all-female group formed by members of the Guinean military. "Samba" was recorded in Paris in 1983 and appears on their album "Au Coeur De Paris".
The samba is a musical form associated with Brazil, which is where we will find Alipio Martins with his tale of the fanged fish that might give you a nasty nip if you were foolish enough to dip your toe in the waters of the Amazon.
And if that wasn't enough there's a samba, a piranha and another river for you in the videos.
"Samba" - Amazones de Guinee
"Piranha" - Alipio Martins
