As per Wiki for the word "Samba":
There are several versions about the birth of the word "samba". One of them claims to be from the words "Zambra" or "Zamba", come from Arabic, having been born more precisely when invasion of the Moors to Iberian Peninsula in VIII century. Another says it is originating from one of many African languages, possibly the Kimbundu, where "sam" means "give" and "ba" means "receive" or "thing falls".
In Brazil, folklorists suggest that the word "samba" is a corruption of the Kikongo word "Semba", translated as "umbigada" in Portuguese, meaning "a blow struck with the belly button".[5]
The original story from Tales of 1001 Arabian Nights begins, "Aladdin was a little Chinese boy."...Can anyone confirm that its true?
The tune for the "A-B-C" song is the same as "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star."....my 2 year old baby knows that :-)
