Kizomba is an African social dance which originated in Angola in the late 20th century, having evolved from the earlier Angolan dance, Semba.
The lyrics of most Kizomba songs (as well as the names of classic steps like Saída) are in Portuguese, the official language of Angola.
Here are a few of our favorite Kizomba tunes, arranged by tempo.
