Lambada is a lively dance and music genre that originated in Brazil in the 1980s. It combines elements of traditional Brazilian rhythms, particularly carimbó, with influences from samba and forró. The dance is characterized by its energetic movements and close partner connection, often featuring hip-swaying and intricate footwork. The music of lambada is typically upbeat and features instruments like the accordion, guitar, and percussion. One of the most famous lambada songs is "Chorando Se Foi," which gained international popularity in the late 1980s. The dance and music together create a festive atmosphere, making lambada a popular choice at celebrations and parties.
