Lambada is a type of dance which became internationally popular in the 1980s. The origin of the dance is somewhat disputed, some saying it began in Bolivia, while others maintain it began in Brazil. Some of the forerunners of the dance are listed as forro, sayas and the carimbó.
The word "Lambada" comes from a Portuguese word used in Brazil, and which refers to the wavelike motion induced in a whip. The dancers' bodies mimic this flowing motion.
"Kaoma", a French group, recorded the number one worldwide hit "Lambada" which sold 5 million singles, which is an unauthorised translation of the song "Llorando se fue", by the Bolivian group "los Kjarkas". See Nusic of Bolivia article for more about the translation of this song.
