A parody of a parody. The tune "Lambada" is not Brazilian, the original
is "Llorando se fue" by the Bolivian group "Kjarkas".

# When in doubt, just use "dot com" technology #
As said by a previous post, the original version
is a bolivian song, the "lambada" remake is by
brazilian musicians living in France, and the
parody is by a french rock band.
I think that's a funny and good example for the
themes discussed under the title "more about
brazilian music"...

Is it not strange that they have to live abroad in order to sell
Brazilian music to the mass market outside of Brazil? In France they
also have "Trio Esperanca" and in Italy they have "Bellini". Bellini
has probably sold more in Europe the last year than all Brazilian
artists combined.
any comments, Egidio?

Nope. I agree with what you wrote. I often found Lambada somewhat similar to
Carimbó. Considering that Carimbó also has its roots in the north of Brazil, what
you wrote above regarding foreign influences is very plausible. Honestly, though,
I never had much interest in reading about Lambada. It was too much of a hype
outside of Brazil.

Michael, I have a friend who is now a great fan of Brasilian music precisely
because she was looking for the "Lambada" music and a sneaky Carioca working at
Tower records gave her the David Byrne Nordeste compilation and a Daniella
Mercury CD instead!!!!!!
Now SHE sides with Paul and Daniella and rants about me playing Cidade Negra,
Robertinho
Which brings me to another interesting point: Those of you who think MY
favorite artists in modern styles (Skank, Fernanda Abreu, Jota Quest, O Rappa,
Lulu Santos, Pedro Luis, ect) should know that when I go into record stores I
get the same kind of "oh, here's that guy who want's all the obscure music
instead of the big sellers" as you do, just on a different level. These artists
are NOTHING in sales and popular appeal compared to Negritude Junior and
Netinho and É o Tchan and all the Sertaneja stuff which shows that all of this
is relative.
Robertinho
It is not so strange if you know the marketing policy
of music companies. For example, each year, here in
France, they are looking for a few new titles that could
become the "tubes de l'ete" (summer hits). Sometimes
they are producing a group only for that purpose...
The choosen musics are always party music, since they
would be danced in the discotheques during the summer
holidays...
Rakoto
Rakoto, you say that like it's a bad thing! Haven't you ever met a summer love
while grooving to a "summer hit"??? From Smashmouth's "Might as well be Walkin
on the Sun" to the Smithereen's "A Girl like You" to David Bowie's "Let's
Dance" to Sly and the Family Stones' "Dance to the Music" and "Let me Take you
Higher" to The Trashmens' "Surfin Bird" back into the history of recorded
music, "summer hits" have been a WONDERFUL thing. AND, if you are a musician
lucky (and talented) enough to write what becomes a summer "anthem" with
decades of repeat airplay, you can then use your royalties to play whatever the
hell music you want to.
Give ME a summer hit, Roberto
Rakoto, I was kidding but also making a point and I can not think of a BETTER
Brasilian summer hit than Fernanda Abreu's "Rio 40 Grau" and, if you made it
part of a medley with "Garota Carioca" and "Brasil é a paese swingin", you are
guaranteed to bring down the house (and get the bundas shaking).
I would LOVE to hear Olodum due a Parliment/Funkadelic medley, Roberto
"Queroemos o funque, dai nos o funque, Ah oooooh!"

Do you mean "Brasil é o pais do suingue"?
Great tune...

Yes, I LOVE that song!
No. At http://www.soton.ac.uk/~oms/lambada.html the author intimates
that the soundtrack has been discontinued, which should be to no one's
surprise.
I think I insulted Dusty Groove's search engine by even looking for it
there. My bad, DG.
It *does* appear that "Lambada: Set The Night on Fire" is categorized
as a soundtrack (from the label Epic, out in April of 1990), although I
can't be sure that it's part of the stellar Jeff James vehicle. None
of the artists are Brazilian, it appears, so this probably isn't what
you're after. Keep checking the bargain bins!
good luck!

Before you buy.
The northern state of Pará is where lambada was created in the
1970s, in and around the capital city of Belém...In the 1970s th
ecity's radio stations where heavily programming merengue,
salsa, and rumba, as well as electrified versions of
carimbó...In 1976, the guitarist Joachim de Lima Vieira appled the
name 'lambada' to a new musical hybrid that he had popularized: a
fusion of merengue, electric carimbó, and hints of other
Caribbean flavors...The lambada dance was also a new hybrid,
mixing elements of the merengue, maxixe, samba, and forró dances.
