about

"(The) Carioca" is a 1933 popular song with music by Vincent Youmans for the 1933 film Flying Down to Rio. It was danced by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers as part of an extended production dance number illustrating the ballroom dance, which was choreographed by the film's dance director, Dave Gould, assisted by Hermes Pan, We were inspired to perform this tune by a recording Xavier Cugat made in 1958. The word "Carioca" refers to inhabitants of Rio de Janeiro.
