Mark and Sammy..many thanks...you are wizards of the atlas. My atlas is old and Buru does not feature (old spelling Boeroe).I was looking for a standard type dance like Tango etc. Disko a bit too modern!

CHIAMARE = to call, in Italian. Don't know if that is of much help or relevance. I don't suppose there is an island of that name.

Another thought: it could be the island of CAPRI, as there is a pizza named after it - capricciosa.
