Carmen Miranda gets lost in translation

For a dance with costumes full of fruit and flowers, this routine oozes so much cheese you could serve it all as the last course of a formal dinner. Flirty, silly, camp and gleeful, we're loving it even if the lyrics, by admission of the translator, make only the smallest sense (something about how she loves the particular rhythms of the drums where she lives, and misses hearing them) Achica chica boom chic!

    Dance?...

    It may seem odd to find these on a website devoted to museums, galleries and heritage, but as well as visiting sites such as those, my spare time is taken up with dance . The Nottingham Dance Collective encompasses all dance from traditional Egyptian to modern street dance. For Around the World in 80 Days, I was asked to record some of those odd little moments that cropped up in the show.
