Las Vegas ConneKTion

During the Rio Hotel's "Conga" dinner show this weekend, 
Rio Rita sang "Brazil"! Same version, same tempo...you can
imagine the stunned look on my face. The "Conga" show took
from a lot of pop songs dealing with Brazil/Latin America, 
but KATE?! 

Did Kate write the song? My mother thought it sounded
familiar to her, so I suspect it's just an old tune that Kate
covered. But then again, she may have just heard the Kate
version once or twice.

Any ideas?
