What is Kizomba?


Kizomba, which is a word that means party in the Angolan dialect Kimbundo, was the name given by Eduardo Paim to an Angolan musical style that appeared in the late 70's. In Portugal the term was also used to define the "passada” dance style which came from Angola as well.


Nowadays, it is the adopted name to define a cultural movement that joins together several nations, music styles and dance styles. In an unplanned way the name Kizomba evolved to define a type of dance which ramified in several styles and techniques. The different musical styles within this general name "Kizomba", appeared in different Palop countries (Portuguese-speaking African countries), and their origin rhythms were influenced by the musical rhythms of the Antilles, namely Zouk and Kompa.


In Angola it was Semba, in Cape Verde it was Coladera, in Mozambique it was Marrabenta, in Guine Bissau it was Gumbé and in S.Tome and Principe it was Puita. All these African and Antillean rhythms share an identical musical clef which grants them a great similarity in sound.
