Dançando Lambada
"Dançando Lambada" is a song by French-Brazilian group Kaoma with the Brazilian vocalist Loalwa Braz. It was the second single from Kaoma's debut album ''Worldbeat'' and followed the smash worldwide hit "Lambada". Released in October 1989, it achieved success, peaking at number four in France, number six in Switzerland and number 11 in Ireland, but was unable to duplicate the success of the band's previous hit single. A dub version of "Lambada" was available on the 12" and CD maxi. Critical reception David Giles, reviewer of ''Music Week'', presented "Dançando Lambada" as a "Parisian re-working of a Brazilian tune that should do well at club level", while wondering whether the sound's novelty can be maintained after "Lambada". To Lisa Tilston of ''Record Mirror'', "this is as funky and Latinate and thoroughly good fun as "Lambada"".
