i finally found the song tt i adore since childhood :) very nostalgic.
Lambada by Kaoma.
I had the cassette tape many moons ago and of cos it conveniently disappeared at home. Though I often heard this melody but the name of the song never surfaced, well probably cos 100% of the song is sung in Portuguese? HAHA the singer resembles Condoleezaa Rice.
Heh. I suppose most people can't identify with me but i think the song really energizes and set the soul on fire. No one can be too depressed when he/she dances to this tune. The dancers in the video look truly immersed in the music and the 2 kids are really amazing. The dance moves reminded me of the movie Dirty dancing: Havana Nights. My mum and i agree that such dance moves are nothing dancing at all.
