The Carioca...

First, the Artie Shaw version, a real up-tempo mover...


This song was a major part of the movie 'Flying Down To Rio' in 1933, which introduced the famous duo of Fred & Ginger to movie-goers everywhere, and they do their thing with this song, during part of its playing.


This was their first time dancing together, and they weren't the stars of this movie, but the rest, as they say, is history.
