Afro-Latin Rhythms Magazine Records Rise In Popularity
by Evan Nasseri Seo ExpertFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NANTES, FRANCE (February 12, 2018) –
Interaction and intermingling of different cultures has brought about
different forms to music, art and dance. One of these intermingled dance
and rhythms is Kizomba, which is a mixture of Angolan culture along
with Cape Verdean and French Antilles rhythms. “Kizomba borrows heavily
from the French Antilles, as well as Latin influences. Various music
festivals around the world have sprung up which give a proper platform
for the showcasing of the beautiful dance and music form that is
Kizomba”, stated a representative.
Kizomba is a word which
actually means “party” in a language called Kimbundu, which is a local
Angolan language. Kizomba’s dance form has been influenced by the
Angolan semba, and its music derivative belongs to the family of Angolan
cultural Semba music. The sensuality which is ever present in the music
and dance variations of Kizomba have been a product of its
intermingling with the Haitian culture and their dance form, called the
Compas. “Born in the 1970s, Kizomba music has a more rhythmic feel to
it, with a sprinkling of sensuality and romance. This makes the music
very accessible and inculcates the freedom in people to go with the flow
of the music”, said the representative.
“The recent rise in
popularity of Kizomba has us thrilled. The dance and music form is
finally getting the recognition that it deserves. We here at Agora
Kizomba keep tabs on every Kizomba event that is taking place around the
world. We also cover each and every festival that has mentions of
Kizomba. The very best of festivals such as the Latin Dance Festival,
Euro Salsa and Sensual Festival, Riviera Dance Cruise, and the K-Iceland
Festival in Reykjavik. We have also had the pleasure of conducting
interviews of personnel who have a voice of authority in the world of
Kizomba. Such voices include that of Don Kikas and Mari Carmen Alcazar.
She has been a dancer, a teacher and a proponent of Kizomba in Spain and
the rest of Europe”, concluded the representative.
