(1989)

"Lambada", also known as "Chorando Se Foi (Lambada)", or "Llorando Se Fue (Lambada)" (both meaning "crying, he/she went away" in Portuguese and Spanish, respectively), is a song by French-Brazilian pop group Kaoma. It features guest vocals by Brazilian vocalist Loalwa Braz and was released as the first single from Kaoma's 1989 debut album, Worldbeat. The accompanying music video, filmed in June 1989 in Cocos beach in the city of Trancoso, in the Brazilian state of Bahia, featured the Brazilian child duo Chico & Roberta.

Sung in Portuguese, it is a cover of the 1986 hit "Chorando Se Foi", by Márcia Ferreira, itself based on the Cuarteto Continental version of "Llorando se fue" (the first upbeat version of the song introducing the accordion), released in 1984 through the Peruvian record label INFOPESA and produced by Alberto Maraví;[1][2] both songs were adapted from the 1981 Bolivian original song by Los Kjarkas.

At the time of release, "Lambada" was regarded as the most successful European single in the history of CBS Records, with sales of 1.8 million copies in France and more than four million across Europe.[3] Overall, "Lambada" sold five million copies worldwide in 1989 alone, according to the New York Times.[4] However, Kaoma did not credit the original songwriters, Los Kjarkas, leading to successful plagiarism lawsuits.[4][5]

Background and release

[edit]

The lyrics and music of Kaoma's "Chorando Se Foi (Lambada)" were an unauthorized translation of the song "Llorando se fue", originally composed, performed and recorded by the Bolivian Andean folk group Los Kjarkas in 1981.[6][7] The song's lyrics and music had been lawfully registered by the founding members of Los Kjarkas, Gonzalo and Ulises Hermosa, in 1981 at the Bolivian Institute of Culture (IBC) and in 1985 at Germany's Music and Authors Society (GEMA).[8] The unauthorized copy by Kaoma, which was credited to fictitious composer Chico de Oliveira,[9] led to a successful 1990 lawsuit by Los Kjarkas against Kaoma's producer Jean-Claude Bonaventure.[6] In 1991, a French court ruled that co-writers Márcia Ferreira and José Ari were the authors of the Portuguese translation for Kaoma's version.[5][10] Nowadays, "Chorando Se Foi (Lambada)" is credited to the Hermosa brothers (as authors), Alberto Maraví, Márcia Ferreira and José Ari.[11]

According to Gonzalo, Los Kjarkas had based "Llorando Se Fue" on a small, nostalgic Andean melody. Their song was written in a sad and slow Afro-Bolivian Saya rhythm.[12]

Prior to Kaoma's 1989 release of the song, several covers of "Llorando se fue" had been released as dance tracks:

  • 1984 – Cuarteto Continental from the LP Fiesta de Cumbias[13]
  • 1984 – Armonia 10 from the LP El Chinchorro, Vol. 2[14][15]

  • 1988 – Tropicalismo Apache from the album Exitos Quemantes
  • 1989 – Los Flamers from the album Gran Reventon Gran, Vol. 5[39][40]

In 1984, an upbeat version of "Llorando Se Fue", introducing the accordion, was released by the Peruvian group Cuarteto Continental, whose arrangements (produced by Alberto Maraví) were later copied by Kaoma.[1][41] The first Portuguese translation and recording of "Llorando Se Fue" – as "Chorando Se Foi" – was released by Brazilian singer Márcia Ferreira in 1986 under her third album.[28]

The French managers Olivier Lorsac (aka Olivier Lamotte d'Incamps) and Jean Georgakarakos formed the band Kaoma in France after Lorsac was exposed to lambada in March 1988 during his visit to Porto Seguro, Bahia, Brazil. Lorsac and Georgakarakos bought the musical rights to over 400 lambada songs from the Brazilian music publisher Continental. Lorsac admitted he and Georgakarakos had heard a "remarkably similar" song by the Hermosa brothers, later recognized by French court to be Márcia Ferreira's hit cover version.[42][43][44][5] In France of 1989, Kaoma's song was used in a television advertisement for Orangina.[45]

Chart performance

[edit]

"Lambada" became a worldwide summer hit, selling over five million copies in 1989[4] and was part of the Lambada dance craze. It reached No. 1 in several European countries, as well as No. 4 on both the UK Singles Chart and Irish Singles Chart, No. 5 on the Australia ARIA Singles Chart, and No. 46 on the US Billboard Hot 100. As of 1991, combined sales of the album and the single have reached one million records sold in Italy.[46] "Lambada" was the 37th best-selling single of the United Kingdom during 1989. In France, it topped the chart for 12 weeks and sold 1.8 million copies.

The accompanying music video for "Lambada" directed by Olivier Lorsac, was filmed in June 1989. in stage on Tago Mago Island (Ibiza, Spain) in the Mediterranean Sea and on Cocos Beach in the city of Trancoso, Bahia, Brazil. It featured the Brazilian child duo Chico & Roberta as love interests. As a semi-plot, Roberta's father does not want her to hang out with Chico, but Loalwa mends the situation among the three.[47]
