It would be a miracle if anyone could answer this question!

Ok, odd question and not a lot to go on. I am looking for a song that I love that was released anywhere between 1998 and 2003! It's a dancey tune and sounds a lot like dario G carnaval de paris, or samba - those kind of tunes. Was a really popular track over the summer one year. It starts with a drum beat (a bit like steel drums) and then kicks into like an electronic sound and is quite a fast paced tune (no singing). I'm sure they played it in opening ceremony of either manchester commonwealth games or an olympics one year. Please help!

Is it Bellini's 'Samba de Janeiro'?

NO, that's not it - but what a speedy reply!! It sounds a bit like that - that kind of carnaval type sound. It's driving me mad, coz it's not one you'd hear on the radio now much. Thanks though x

well for the opening ceremony it was S club 7 but I remember Dario G sunchyme was used for the adverts. If not you are looking at it being a different sporting event.
