Kaoma with the

The lyrics of "Lambada", which is also the name of a Brazilian

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.
