He is the singer and composer of the "King of Carimbó" (as it is affectionately known) and he created rhythms, such as: Sirimbó, Lári-Lári, Lambada and Lamgode. Pinduca is a musician and composer of mainly Carimbó. Two-beat dance style Īround 1983, the Carimbó dance started again to be danced in couples, in a 2-beat style, something very close to Merengue, but with more spins.Īurino Quirino Gonçalves, or simply Pinduca, is a Brazilian musician and singer in the north of Brazil ( Amapá and Pará area), where it is strongly believed he is the true father of the lambada music. This flowing wave motion is reproduced by the dancers' bodies, and is one of the main elements that distinguish Lambada from other Latin dances. In Portuguese it may refer to the wave-like motion of a whip. However, as a dance form, lambada is of obscure etymology. The word lambada means "strong slap" or "hit" in Portuguese. The term "lambada" had a strong appeal and began to be associated with the new emerging face of an old dancing style. The music was mainly to the beat of drums made of trunks of wood, thinned by fire.Ĭarimbó involved only side to side movements and many spins and hip movement, which became the basis of the lambada.Īfter a while, a local radio station from Belém ( Pará's capital city) started to call this new type of music "the strong-beated rhythm" and "the rhythms of lambada".
Carimbó was a loose and very sensual dance which involved many spins by the female dancer, who typically wore a rounded skirt. Come On! Upside, inside out she's livin la vida loca She'll push and pull you down, livin la vida loca Her lips are devil red and her skin's the color mocha She will wear you out livin la vida loca Come On!
