Man with a degree in music (5)
I believe the answer is:
samba
'music' is the definition.
(I know that samba is a type of dance music)
'man with a degree' is the wordplay.
'man' becomes 'sba' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'with' indicates putting letters inside.
'a degree' becomes 'AM' (AM is an example).
'sba' placed around 'am' is 'SAMBA'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for samba that I've seen before include "Dance, originally from Brazil" , "Lively ballroom dance from Brazil" , "This ambassador's > brisk steps" , "it was launched in Brazil" , "Latin dance" .)
