Chyco Dru is from Martinique, Jacky Arconte from Guadeloupe, and Loalwa Braz from Brazil. They are best known for their 1989 hit single, "Lambada", a direct cover of Brazilian singer-songwriter Márcia Ferreira's 1986 dance hit "Chorando se foi," which itself was a legally authorized Portuguese-translated rendition of the original 1981 slow ballad, "Llorando se fue" by the Bolivian group Los Kjarkas. Given Kaoma's clear act of plagiarism and release of their single without Los Kjarkas' permission, Los Kjarkas successfully sued.
"Dançando Lambada" and "Mélodie d'amour" were the next two singles and were also hit singles, although they failed to earn the same success as "Lambada". "Lambada" peaked at number 46 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. It reached number 4 in the UK Singles Chart.
The same year, the band released its first album Worldbeat which achieved worldwide success,becoming,along with Beto Barbosa, one of the legends of Brazilian lambada. At the 1990 Lo Nuestro Awards, Kaoma won two awards for Pop Group of the Year and New Pop Artist of the Year.
In 1991, Kaoma released the album Tribal-Pursuit which provided the singles "Danca Tago-Mago" and "Moço do dende".
The band disbanded in 1998 but reformed again in 2006.
Loalwa Braz (3 June 1953 – 19 January 2017)
Lambada is a dance from Pará, Brazil, of African origin. The dance became internationally popular in the 1980s, especially in Latin America and Caribbean countries. It has adopted aspects of dances such as forró, salsa, merengue, maxixe and the carimbó.
Lambada is generally a partner dance. The dancers generally dance with arched legs, with the steps being from side to side, turning or even swaying, and in its original form never front to back, with a pronounced movement of the hips. At the time when the dance became popular, short skirts for women were in fashion and men wore long trousers, and the dance has become associated with such clothing, especially for women wearing short skirts that swirl up when the woman spins around, typically revealing 90s-style thong underwear.

Kaoma Lyrics
Kaoma: A La Media Noche
[ A La Media Noche) 3x
Um desejo e uma mulher
(A La Media Noche) 3x
Um desejo uma mulher]
A festa já começou.
A alegria agora reina.
O conto que me encantou
Tem no encanto a pele morena
No ritmo um bate bate
Batidas de um coração
[Que pulsa assim tão forte
Que palpita na canção] 2x
[ A La Media Noche) 3x
Um desejo e uma mulher
(A La Media Noche) 3x
Um desejo uma mulher]
A festa continuou
E uma lagrima agora rola
No peito tanta emoção
De um amante que canta e chora
No ritmo um bate bate
Batidas de um coração
[Suspirou assim tão forte
Num começo de paixão] 2x
[ A La Media Noche) 3x
Um desejo e uma mulher
(A La Media Noche) 3x
Um desejo uma mulher]
