What is Kizomba?
Kizomba is a genre of music and partner dance that originated in Angola in the late 1970s. Characterised by its slow romantic tempo, sensual melodies and African-Portuguese lyrics, it blends Semba with Caribbean Zouk to create one of Africa’s most intimate sounds.
Born in Luanda, Kizomba spread through the Portuguese-speaking African diaspora — Cape Verde, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau — before reaching Lisbon, Paris and London. NMC Signal is one of the very few UK radio stations consistently programming Kizomba.
