Kaoma "Lambada"



Lambada" (also released as "Chorando Se Foi (Lambada)") is a 1989 song recorded by the French pop group Kaoma with the Brazilian vocalist Loalwa Braz. The video features the Brazilian children duet Chico and Roberta. The lyrics of "Lambada", which is also the name of a Brazilian music style, was an unauthorized translation of the song "Llorando se fue", an acoustic song recorded by the Bolivian group Los K’jarkas. The unauthorized use later resulted in a successful lawsuit from Los K’jarkas. The single became a worldwide summer hit, selling over 5 million copies in 1989 and starting the Lambada dance craze. It reached #1 on seven different charts, as well as #46 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and reaching #4 on the UK Singles Chart. It was the 37th best-selling single in the UK during 1989. [Wikipedia]
