"Lambada" fared better in Europe, reaching number 4 in the UK Singles Chart. " Dançando Lambada" and " Mélodie d'amour" were the next two singles and were also hits, although they failed to earn the same success as "Lambada", which itself peaked at number 46 in the US Billboard Hot 100. Given Kaoma's clear act of plagiarism and release of their single without Los Kjarkas' permission, Los Kjarkas successfully sued. In 1989, they had a major chart-topping international hit with their dance music single " Lambada", a direct cover of the 1986 dance hit " Chorando Se Foi" by Brazilian singer-songwriter Márcia Ferreira, which itself was a legally authorized Portuguese-translated rendition of the original slow ballad " Llorando se fue" (1981) by Bolivian group Los Kjarkas. Dru is from Martinique, Arconte from Guadeloupe, and Braz from Brazil. Loalwa Braz was hired to sing lead vocals, other musicians were Chyco Dru (bass), Jacky Arconte (guitar), Jean-Claude Bonaventure (keyboard), Michel Abihssira (drums and percussion) and Fania (backing vocals). Kaoma was a French-Brazilian band formed in 1988 by French producers Jean Georgakarakos and Olivier Lorsac to promote the song " Lambada".
