"Lambada", also known as "Chorando Se Foi (Lambada)", or "Llorando se fue (Lambada)" (both meaning "crying, they went away" in Portuguese and Spanish, respectively), is a song by French-Brazilian pop group Kaoma. It features guest vocals by Brazilian vocalist Loalwa Braz and was released as Kaoma's debut single and the first single from Kaoma's 1989 debut album, Worldbeat . The accompanying music video, filmed in June 1989 in Cocos beach in the city of Trancoso, in the Brazilian state of Bahia, featured the Brazilian child duo Chico & Roberta. The song became a huge hit in Europe and many parts of the world.

Contents

Sung in Portuguese, it is a cover of the 1986 hit "Chorando Se Foi", by Márcia Ferreira, itself based on the Cuarteto Continental version of "Llorando se fue" (the first upbeat version of the song introducing the accordion), released in 1984 through the Peruvian record label INFOPESA and produced by Alberto Maraví; [1] [2] both songs were adapted from the 1981 original song by Bolivian group Los Kjarkas.

At the time of release, "Lambada" was regarded as the most successful European single in the history of CBS Records, with sales of 1.8 million copies in France and more than four million across Europe. [3] Overall, "Lambada" sold five million copies worldwide in 1989 alone, according to the New York Times . [4]

However, Kaoma did not credit the original songwriters and also made changes to Márcia Ferreira's lyrics. This ended up leading to successful plagiarism lawsuits. [4] [5]

1989 and 1990 are considered to be the lambada genre's boom years, although the lambada rhythm had existed for much longer. The song became one of the most covered songs worldwide.

Background

Kaoma's Lambada was an unauthorized version of the song "Llorando se fue", originally composed, performed and recorded by the Bolivian Andean folk group Los Kjarkas in 1981. [6] [7] The song's lyrics and music had been lawfully registered by the founding members of Los Kjarkas, Gonzalo and Ulises Hermosa, in 1981 at the Bolivian Institute of Culture (IBC) and in 1985 at Germany's Music and Authors Society (GEMA). [8]

According to Gonzalo, Los Kjarkas had based "Llorando se fue" on a small, nostalgic Andean melody. Their song was written in a sad and slow Afro-Bolivian Saya rhythm. [9]

In 1984, an upbeat version of "Llorando se fue", introducing the accordion, was released by the Peruvian group Cuarteto Continental as part of their LP Fiesta de Cumbias, [10] and the arrangement Alberto Maraví (the producer of Cuarteto Continental's version) introduced to the song was later copied by Kaoma. [1] [11]

The first Portuguese version of "Llorando se fue" – as "Chorando Se Foi" – was released by Brazilian singer Márcia Ferreira in 1986 on her third album. [12] [13]

In March 1988, during their visit to Porto Seguro, Bahia, Brazil, French managers Olivier Lamotte d'Incamps (known as Olivier Lorsac) and Jean Georgakarakos (known as Jean Karakos) discovered the lambada music genre, and Márcia Ferreira's version. The two bought the musical rights to over 400 lambada songs from the Brazilian music publisher Continental. Lorsac and Georgakarakos then returned to Paris, and eventually the two formed the band Kaoma in France, which included musicians from Brazil, Africa and the Caribbean.

Prior to Kaoma's 1989 release of the song, several covers of "Llorando se fue" had been released as dance tracks, in addition to those already mentioned, which are marked in bold:

Release

Kaoma released the song on July 1989. In the Kaoma single version and on the album Worldbeat, the composition of the music and the writing of the lyrics was credited to a fictional composer called Chico de Oliveira, [40] in addition to making significant changes to Márcia Ferreira's lyrics. The song had been registered at SACEM as if it was written by Chico de Oliveira. In the American release, there was a note at the bottom of the album stating: "Lambada comes from Saya, a Bolivian folk music. Ulysse and Gonzalo Hermosa and Olivier Lorsac contributed to its realisation."

Music video

The accompanying music video for "Lambada" directed by Olivier Lorsac, was filmed in June 1989, in stage on Tago Mago Island (Ibiza, Spain) in the Mediterranean Sea and on Cocos Beach in the city of Trancoso, Bahia, Brazil. It featured the Brazilian child duo Chico & Roberta as love interests. As a semi-plot, Roberta's father does not want her to hang out with Chico, but Loalwa mends the situation among the three. [41] The video was paid for by Orangina, who would also use it in a television advertisement in France. [42] [43]

Chart performance

"Lambada" became a worldwide summer hit, selling over five million copies in 1989 [4] and was part of the Lambada dance craze. It reached No. 1 in several European countries, as well as No. 4 on both the UK Singles Chart and Irish Singles Chart, No. 5 on the Australia ARIA Singles Chart, and No. 46 on the US Billboard Hot 100. As of 1991, combined sales of the album and the single have reached one million records sold in Italy. [44] "Lambada" was the 37th best-selling single of the United Kingdom during 1989. In France, it topped the chart for 12 weeks and sold 1.8 million copies.

Plagiarism controversy and lawsuit

On 30 August 1989, French newspaper Le Monde disclosed that Chico de Oliveira was actually a pseudonym for Olivier Lamotte d'Incamps (aka Olivier Lorsac). [105] Then, Los Kjarkas denounced the plagiarism, and spoke to Spanish newspaper El País about the situation. [106] [107] Meanwhile, Márcia Ferreira appeared in the Brazilian TV program Domingão do Faustão, where she said that Kaoma was simply a copy of Márcia Ferreira.

Kaoma's release of the song resulted in successful lawsuits for plagiarism, the first being in 1990 by Los Kjarkas, against Kaoma's producer Jean-Claude Bonaventure, and the second in 1991, where a French court ruled that co-writers Márcia Ferreira and José Ari were the authors of the Portuguese version, despite Kaoma making some changes to the lyrics. [5] [108] Lorsac and Georgakarakos admitted they had heard a "remarkably similar" song in Porto Seguro, and this was recognized by the French court to be Márcia Ferreira's 1986 version. [109] [110] [111] [5] Márcia Ferreira won the suit she filed in Paris, France, on 7 March 1991. The musicians of the band Kaoma were not to blame for the case. Kaoma's musicians were only employees of the French producers. [112] [113]

Nowadays, the song is credited to the Hermosa brothers (as authors), Alberto Maraví (the one who made the arrangement on the Cuarteto Continental cover, which was later copied by other artists), Márcia Ferreira and José Ari. [114]
