    The London Olympics has hardly even had time to enjoy its success and already Rio is attempting to steal its shine, earlier this week releasing the official theme song for the 2016 Olympics. As can be expected, the new song and video showcase the typical laid-back, tropical style associated with the South American gem.

    “The Gods of Olympus Visit Rio de Janeiro”, as the song is called, was written by  Brazilian composers Arlindo Cruz, Roge and Arlindo Neto, and was performed by well-known Rio de Janero natives. The clip follows several Greek gods as they visit the host city of the next Olympic Games, enjoying its inherent pleasures. As the lyrics reveal, “the gods fell in love with the city and didn’t want to leave.”

    The song was released on Monday afternoon after Mayor Eduardo Paes, Governor Sergio Cabral, President of the Brazilian Olympic Committee Carlos Arthur Nuzma and several Brazilian athletes returned to the city with the Olympic flag.
