They left show business and never returned.
The hot Brazilian video for the incendiary song “Lambada” will never go out of style. It is impossible to forget how the boy and girl famously danced at the disco, telling the story of first love and separation.
The dance was performed by Washington Oliveira, nicknamed Chico, and Roberta de Brito. The dark-skinned boy and the blonde girl looked amazing in contrast, and even a professional could envy their sense of rhythm. The children were only ten years old at the time of filming.
After the release of the video, Chico and Roberta became world stars. At the peak of their fame, the guys organized their musical duet and released an album called Face to Face. Several songs from there became popular and fell in love with France. However, four years later, the duo broke up, and the teenagers were tied up with show business and hot lambada.
Today, Oliveira serves as a pastor in a Protestant church, and Roberta works as a veterinarian. Both have families and children. The stars of “Lambada” are still friends and often communicate. True, it is now impossible to recognize the matured dancers: today they are both no different from ordinary Brazilians.
