Intro

Formed in 1989, Kaoma was a French-Brazilian musical group that played a pivotal role in popularizing the lambada and zouk genres throughout Europe. During their decade-long career, the band released three studio albums under the Epic Records label. They are best remembered for their 1989 international hit single, "Lambada," which achieved significant chart success globally before the group officially disbanded in 1999.
