Kaoma: World Beat (1989-12)Vinyl 12" 33 RPM album / Epic / E-46010 / US CD 5" album / Epic / EK-46010 / US Description: Studio album, including the major international hit "Lambada". Several members of Touré Kunda's backing band from the Celluloid era left to form Kaoma, including Michel Abihssira, Chyco Roger Dru, and producer Jean-Claude Bonaventure. Other members for the first album were Monica Nogueira, Jacky Arconte, Loalwa Braz, and Fania Niang. The group later released Tribal Pursuit (1991-07-08) and A La Media Noche (1998-11-10). Chico and Roberta, the children featured in the video for Kaoma's "Lambada", released Frente A Frente (1990), which included Jean-Claude Bonaventure, Michel Abihssira, and Ben Belinga. "Lambada" is credited to C. DeOliveira, but is derived from a song by the Bolivian group Los Kjarkas, "Llorando Se Fue", that was originally released on Canto A La Mujer De Mi Pueblo (1982). The World Beat insert acknowledges the contribution by members of Los Kjarkas: "La Lambada comes from saya, a Bolivian folk music. Ulysse and Gonzalo Hermosa and Olivier Lorsac contributed to its realization." |
