"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.

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.

The lyrics to Kaoma's song "Danca Tago Mago" are in Portuguese, but roughly translate to English as a passionate call for energy, freedom, and love. The repetition of "Tago-mago" highlights the importance of this sense of bodily and emotional release, as a heart that screams out for connection and joy. The song urges the listener to come along and bring their strength, sweat, and love to a shared dance of passion and ardor. The singer emphasizes with pleasure, madness, and tenderness, speaking of the magic that takes us away in movement and feeling. The refrain, "esse meu quintim tem dentro, esse meu ta teu tempero" means "my fifth has inside, my seasoning is yours", perhaps an allusion to the sharing of creative and sensual energy among people.
