Lambada

What is Lambada in Brazilian Zouk?

Lambada is a Brazilian dance and music phenomenon that became internationally famous before Brazilian Zouk developed into its own social dance language.

Lambada is often described as one of the roots of Brazilian Zouk. The two are related, but not identical. Lambada is more directly tied to its original music and historical style, while Brazilian Zouk evolved into a wider dance form with different musical options and a larger international event scene.
