Everything about Lambada Kaoma Song totally explained

"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 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 8th most popular song in Brazil for the year-end chart of 1990. It was even more popular than Madonna's number-one hit "Vogue".
   In France, it was covered by another group, Carioca, which peaked only at #22 on September 9, 1989, and remained on the chart for 9 weeks.
