If you have the good fortune to attend a kizomba party or any event where there is an opportunity to dance kizomba, chances are you’ll be dancing to more than just kizomba music. Much of what you’ll hear, especially in the New World Kizomba scene (aka North America), is not kizomba at all. In a recent episode of Agua Latina (on CJSR 88.5 FM), DJ Clare Bear and myself discuss 5 common genres that you’ll hear on a kizomba dance floor. Check it out on SoundCloud. You’ll find the music from that episode in this months’ playlist.
