In October 2007 Sara decided not to suppress her desire to make her music heard anymore. She dug up some old songs she had kept hidden, while she tried to figure out a way to make the best musicians she knew form a band with her. After much consideration and anxious hesitation, she finally asked Walle who simply said: "Of course"! This made it very easy to ask Alfred to join, since he and Walle are practically married. For all Sara can remember, Alfred, who isn't exactly eloquent, answered by sending his standard textmessage: "ok". But what about the guitarist? It had to be someone she could trust. For letting him hear her songs would mean letting him into her heart. And he had to be a good singer. And he had to be one hell of a guitarplayer. Sara explained the criteria to Walle, who suggested: "You should ask Jokke!" And she did.The name? Sara, who has always been known to think too much, came up with lots of names for the band, but rejected all of them. Then one chilly afternoon in Malmo, Sara and Walle joined by good friend Johan, sought refuge from the freezing wind in a coffeehouse. Over an extremely large latte Sara said: "It's got to be light and dark, short and catchy and it needs to be easily pronounced in many languages..." Walle, who is a man of great wisdom and brilliant ideas, said: "Rio!" Thus, Rio it is.
