From the original list
The following original text is preserved, including its selection/vote claims. Preservation is not independent verification of every assertion.
Why: A sultry summer hit that spread a Brazilian couples' dance across the globe.
What to preserve: The Kaoma video, the dance, its Bolivian song origins
Year and origin: 1989 · France/Brazil
Vote: 3/9 (historian 1 · future kid 1 · curator 1)
Learn more: Lambada (song) on Wikipedia
Supplemental context
The linked history connects Kaoma’s recording with the earlier song Llorando se fue by Los Kjarkas. This makes the selection useful for examining translation, adaptation and the difference between a hit recording’s public identity and its musical ancestry. A future archive should retain attribution rather than only the best-known version.
Creator/community: Kaoma; Los Kjarkas and other earlier musical contributors; partner-dance communities Place/era: Late twentieth-century circulation across Bolivia, Brazil, France and beyond
Context and limits
The original national labels simplify a transnational history. No legal conclusion or reuse permission is supplied. The fictional couple illustrates close partner dancing, not a verified lambada step, an actual music video or a universal Brazilian costume.
