The film features three songs performed by Kid Creole & The Coconuts: "Lambada a La Creole" "Automatic" and "It's a Horror," as well as the theme song "Lambada" by Kaoma, the group that started the Lambada craze. The song became a source of controversy when it was revealed that the song's producers had taken credit for what was, in fact, a traditional Bolivian melody.
"The Forbidden Dance" is one of three lambada films that came out in 1990 during the short-lived lambada craze.
Also known as "Lambada - El Baile Prohibido!"
