 Kizomba   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Kizomba is native to Angola, with influences from other lusophone countries.
The influence of Angolan kizomba is felt in most Portuguese Africa, but also Portugal (mostly in Lisbon and surrounding suburbs such as Amadora or Almada), where communities of immigrants have established clubs centered on the genre in a renewed kizomba style.
Famous Angolan kizomba musicians include Don Kikas, Calo Pascoal and Irmãos Verdade, among many others, but Bonga is probably the best known Angolan artist, having helped popularize the style both in Angola and Portugal during the 1970s and 1980s.

 Salsa Viva Portugal review by lyw
Kizomba evolved from an Angola Rhythm called 'Semba' that some consider to be in the origin of Samba (Brazil), or at least some say that the name Samba comes from Semba (I read an academic article saying that).
But the way that Kizomba is danced doesn't resemble Samba at all.
Kizomba is a slow couple dance, danced close together and has a clear influence of Tango in some Steps.
