Kizomba
Kizomba is a popular music genre and dance style that originated in Angola in the late 1970s to early 1980s. It is characterized by its slow, romantic, and sensual rhythms, often compared to a mix of Zouk and African rhythms. The music typically features a soft yet insistent beat with smooth melodies, creating an intimate atmosphere. Kizomba music and dance have grown in popularity worldwide, particularly in Portuguese-speaking countries and across Europe. The dance is known for its close partner connection, fluid movements, and emphasis on lead and follow dynamics. Kizomba is often performed at social dance events and festivals, fostering a sense of community and cultural exchange among dancers and musicians.
