Lambada (original Version 1989) гЂ€HOTгЂ‰

Despite its 1989 release, the melody of "Lambada" actually dates back to 1981.

In 1989, a French-Brazilian group called Kaoma released "Lambada," a track that would go on to sell more than 5 million copies worldwide and spark an international obsession known as the "Forbidden Dance". While widely remembered as the definitive summer anthem of the late '80s, the song's true history is a complex mix of cultural fusion, marketing genius, and a significant legal controversy over its origins.
