Kizomba - Neide

So I've already introduced you to a little Semba and a little Kuduro both hailing from Angola. Now on to a little Kizomba.

Coming out of the late 1980s/early 1990s, Kizomba fuses a little Semba and a lot of Zouk beats. The underline beat instantly want to swing to the beat. It's very sensual yet still danceable. It's sorta like R&B with a whole lot of Caribbean and African beats all mixed in...

I'll introduce you to one of Kizomba recent stars:

Neide Núria de Sousa Van-Dúnem Vieira


This 23 year old seems to be hitting the good times with this her 2007 hit: Olá Baby.

On a final note, those of you hip hop/rap lovers may definitely enjoy a little Angolan rap via Big Nelo.
