Organisers in Rio, the home of samba and carnival, have apparently come up with a uniquely Brazilian response to any embarrassing booing at tonight's Olympic opening ceremony: LOUD PARTY MUSIC.

With the Zika virus outbreak, high crime rate, a political crisis and doping scandals overshadowing Friday's ceremony, there is plenty for fans to jeer.

The country's interim president Michel Temer will declare the Olympic Games open during a four-hour ceremony.

His speech is expected to be only 14 words long.

Brazilian newspaper Folha is reporting that loud music will be played as soon as he finishes, so that any jeers are inaudible to the billions of people expected to watch on television.

Mr Temer only took over as head of Brazil's government in May after his predecessor Dilma Rousseff was suspended from office pending an investigation into accusations that she illegally manipulated government accounts.

But a huge economic downturn, following a crash in oil prices, has made the government hugely unpopular.

If heckling wasn't bad enough an anti-government demonstration has been organised outside the Maracana Stadium, which will host the ceremony.

Workers are furious about missed salary payments at a time when the government has spent £5bn on stadiums and infrastructure.

The ceremony itself has seen its budget nearly halved.

There is still enough cash to allow British actress Dame Judi Dench to an appearance by hologram reading a poem by Carlos Drummond de Andrade, along with the 86-year-old Oscar-nominated Brazilian actress Fernanda Montenegro. Because why not?

On Thursday Marco Baluch, the executive producer of the ceremony, denied there were plans to drown out booing.

"We have to celebrate Rio, not celebrate political involvement.

"You don't remember who was the president [at ceremonies] you remember Muhammad Ali lighting the torch or the archer who lit the flame at Barcelona," he said.

Booing is nothing new at sporting events.

In fact US goalkeeper Hope Solo has already been booed during the Rio games.

The opening ceremony is at midnight on Friday but the action kicked off two days ago with the women's football.

The veteran goalkeeper was booed every time she touched the ball after saying she may skip the Olympics due to fears about the Zika virus.

Former Chancellor George Osborne was booed when he presented medals at the London Paralympics.
