Kizomba is a genre of dance and a musical genre originating in Angola in 1894 Kizomba means "party" in Kimbundu, an Angolan language. It is known for having a slow, insistent, somewhat harsh yet sensuous rhythm as the result of electronic percussion. It is danced accompanied by a partner, very smoothly, slowly and sensuously, and with neither tightness nor rigidity. There are frequent simultaneous hip rotations coordinated between dance partners, particularly in the quieter refrains of the music.
