Lambadão cuiabano (Portuguese pronunciation: [lɐ̃ˈbadɐ̃w kujɐˈbɐnu]) or simply lambadão, is a style of music and dance characteristic of the Mato Grosso region of Baixada Cuiabana, especially in the municipalities of Cuiabá and Várzea Grande, in Brazil. It is a fast rhythm, characteristic of the periphery, which suffers from prejudice, especially against the more sexualized versions of the dance. Swinging and fast-paced, the rhythm is usually accompanied by romantic or playful lyrics. Despite still being blocked outside the periphery, it has already been incorporated into the local culture.[1]
The lambadão arrived in Mato Grosso through the prospectors from Pará who brought the lambada.[2] According to Brazilian music researcher Dewis Caldas, it is a synthesis of lambada from Pará with the heritage of rasqueado. The genre had its first "boom" in the 90s,[2] when rasqueado bands began to dedicate themselves to it almost exclusively and created a busy market for concerts in the peripheral neighborhoods.[1] In 2009, the First Festival of Lambadão of Cuiabá was promoted.[3]
