Pimba is a Portuguese genre of music with an uptempo style and folk song qualities, usually featuring corny, romantic or saucy and vulgar lyrics, over fairly simple chords, making it great for parties. The Portuguese word 'pimba' by itself means a 'quick, unexpected event'; a loose translation could be the English word 'bang' (or wham!) In the context of Portuguese music, the genre was christened after this song, 'Pimba Pimba', released by singer Emanuel in 1995. Always present in local festivities and holidays of villages and towns across the entire country, that are often connected with religious holidays in honour of a patron saint of a local community, almost always in the Summer, Pimba singers also became a must in several major university and college festivals or festivities, so this chart, retaining the original key of the hit song, is sure to be a hit and get your audiences up dancing!
