Lambada

Lambada is a style of Brazilian dance music that originated in the late 1970s. It is characterized by a strong, repetitive beat, often accompanied by a syncopated electric guitar, and a vocal style that ranges from soulful to frenetic. It is usually played at a fast tempo, with dance moves that emphasize sensuality and hip movements. Lambada is a fusion of traditional Brazilian rhythms such as carimbó, calypso, and merengue, with influences from other Latin American and African music styles. Lambada became internationally popular in the late 1980s, when a song called "Lambada" by Kaoma topped the charts in many countries.
