Top 10 Zouk Lambada Songs of all Time
Zouk is a beautiful style of music and dance, and it’s one of those real “experience and feeling” styles where how you feel while dancing it is as important as what you do. Just to be clear, I dance the Brazilian style of Zouk, which is why I called it Zouk Lambada rather than just Zouk (which is another style from the French Caribbean).
My hope is that those looking to get hold of some great Zouk music will find it here. Australia is now a hotspot for Zouk dancing and it’s spreading all over the world due mostly to just a few very talented dancers and teachers who can inspire others through their connection. Allan Dantas (LDA’s top Zouk teacher in Sydney) is one of these and he gave me a few of these tracks for some initial inspiration.
- Gage – L’Homme D’Une Femme
- Massari – Real Love
- Enigma – In The Shadow, In The Light
- Anselmo Ralph – Um Dois
- Mafie Zouker & Enigma – New Era
- Xavier Naidoo – Wo Willst Du Hin
- Lopes – Don’t Keep Me Waiting
- Cox – You
- Johnny Ramos – Silhueta Linda
- Mafie Zouker & Paulo Mac – Mais Que Prazer
Please comment with any of your favourites that I’ve missed and I’ll add them in if I agree.
Here are some of the recommendations I’ve added to this list since I first posted. Some I’ve replaced previous top-ten-ers with and others are below:
Salsa Ulysses 
Uly,
You’ve compiled a great list of classics that show the breadth of songs that can we can dance [Brazilian] Zouk to. There are also some fantastic new remixes coming out by Mafie, Nyx, Kadu and DJ Big Zouk (a DJ from Spain, linked to Spiral Dancers) – all are really pushing the boundaries with where Zouk music is heading. At the Prague Zouk Congress 2 weeks ago Mafie was playing some of his new tracks from his soon-to-be-released album and they blow your mind!!! So many layers within the music – a dream for Zouk dancers!
Anyhoo…
A few of my new favourites:
– Talk to Me – Nyx
– Ha Quem Queira – Anselmo Ralph –> DJ BigZouk remix
– My Hands – Leona Lewis –> DJ BigZouk remix
– Now or Never – DJ Shah –> Mafie Zouker remix
– Crazy Love – Ne-Yo –> Kadu DJ remix
– Unthinkable – Alicia Keys –> Kadu DJ remix
– Near to You – A Fine Frenzy —> Zouk remix [by ??]
And some other classics:
– You – Cox
– Gone Away (CP Remix) – Massari
– La Vie – Max Blacksoul [blows your mind!]
– Masterkey – Mafie Zouker [always a classic!]
– Mais que um amigo – Mafie Zouker
– Não Vai Embora – Anselmo Ralph
Enjoy! 🙂
