Kizomba

Kizomba is one of the most popular genres of dance and music originating from Angola. It is a mix of traditional Angolan semba, with a mix of zouk or compas music from the French Caribbean and Cape Verdian islands sung generally in Portuguese. It is music with a romantic flow. It was the Kimbundu name for a dance in Angola as early as 1894. The Kizomba dancing style is also known to be very sensual. Kizomba is often confounded with Zouk, because the pace is very similar.
