"Dançando Lambada" is a 1989 song recorded by Franco-Brazilian pop group Kaoma with the Brazilian vocalist Loalwa Braz. It was the second single from Kaoma's debut album Worldbeat and followed the smash worldwide hit "Lambada". Released in October 1989, it achieved nice success, peaking at #4 in France and #6 in Switzerland, but was unable to duplicate the same success of band's previous hit single. A dub version of "Lambada" was available on the 12" and CD maxi.
