☆ Kizomba
The base of Kizomba music is actually "Afro Caribbean French Zouk' Many West African Countries have their own version of Zouk. The name Kizomba is how Angolans define their own afro-zouk, a fusion between zouk, kompa and Angolan traditional music. Caboverdians define their afro-zouk as cola-zouk, cabo-zouk or cabo-love. Afro-zouk from Guinea-Bissau is called meia-batida. In fact, afro-zouk exists in countries like the Congo, Mali, Ivory Coast, Gabon, São Tomé and Prince, Mozambique, Nigeria, Cameroon, Madagascar etc.
It is impossible to speak about Kizomba and not speak about Caboverdians and how much they influenced many countries afro-zouk/cola-zouk/meia-batida/kizomba. Especially because in the beginning of the 90s Angola was still going through a civil war that started in 1975 .......
