History
About 30 years ago, a lambada sounded in every disco club. This musical whirlwind captured millions of people. The history of Lambada dance began in the state of Para, in Brazil. At one of the holidays, a young couple decided to show an innovation in the Brazilian style. No one at that time had any idea what a lambada was, what it was fraught with, and how it could conquer millions in the future. Young people looked at the dance and tried to conquer it, and the older generation found such a dance unnecessarily uninhibited. Such experiments were secretly forbidden to people and the lambada was studied separately, in closed clubs. And after a few years, hundreds of dancers were able to reveal themselves and declare a novelty in the world of dance.
The very word "lambada" of Portuguese origin, means "contact." Brazil, on the other hand, interpreted the term as a designation of the music they liked - hit or hit. This dance in itself contained many styles, including Indian, Amazonian movements and motifs - carimbo, forro and matchish. In the first case, the lambada received sensuality, rotational light movements of the lower part of the body, for this even special skirts were worn. Matchish gave the Lambada also many unique movements. Because of this introduction of dance, until the 20th century, matchish was banned, and the lambada was only considered an innovation that came out on the basis of erotic dances.
Metric Version
Metrics carry the modern lambada to the distant Porto Segura, located near the Atlantic Ocean, also in Brazil, Bahia. In the 80s, a producer from France, Olivier Lamot, arrived in this city with his team, he wanted to see the local carnival for the summer holiday.
The man was struck by melodies and rhythms, although he did not know what a lambada was like a dance, upon his return, he created the musical group “Kaoma” with black Hispanics. The enterprising Frenchman wrote a song in honor of the Lambada dance, where a Bolivian melody and text was used. The producer even sued for violating the copyright of another country. By court decision, the words from the song were to be removed, but the incendiary melody could be left. And this melody continued to gain fans around the world. Then she again flew to the inhabitants of Brazil, who changed their mind about the prohibitions on movements. If you dance it in pairs, it looks beautiful, harmonious. But many can try independent and even group dance.
