The singer of Latin pop hit "La Lambada", Loalwa Braz, was found dead Thursday in a burned-out car in her native Brazil, police and media said. Braz provided the sensual lead vocals for the international hit song released by French group Kaoma in 1989. A police official told AFP Braz was found in the coastal district of Saquerema near Rio de Janeiro, but could give no further details.
Brazilian media said the singer's body was found totally burned inside the car near her home.
