About Kizomba.
​Kizomba is both a music and dance genre from Angola. The music is a fusion of Semba and Zouk and the dance is a fusion of Semba, Passada as well as other Angolan dances such as Massemba, Kazukuta, Kabetula and more. The dance and the music initially had no name and was referred to as “aquele Zouk com Semba” meaning “that Zouk with Semba”, which later became Kizomba. The name "Kizomba" became associated with neighborhood gatherings where this new fusion of music and dance took place. These gatherings were also called “Kizombada” and “Passada”. New dance genres and styles are continuously being inspired by Kizomba such as Urban Kiz, BachaKiz, KizTango, and more. Today Kizomba has caught world’s attention and it is played and dance in all continents.
