Kaoma - Lambada

After the wall came down and David Hasselhoff conquered the Eastern German charts with “I have been looking for freedom”, this was the second tape I posessed.

After the freedom was there because walls dividing a country were pulled down, my mom and me danced Lambada in our living room, out to the courtyard, embracing the opportunities the changes had brought. A piece of the world that had seemed so far a year ago manifested itself now in our frontyard. A piece of Brazil in Eastern Germany in the sweltering heat of the summer in 1990.
