Every where Congolese artists performed in Africa they left a virus, even in countries like Madagaskar and Cape Verde and the same thing happened in Colomia where multiple soukous-artists performed. Nowadays you have there a music-genre called Champeta which has his roots from Congolese music and Colombian also doing sebene. Thinking about that made me wonder why don't have the same thing in Brazil. Because I remember Congolese artists like Franco Luambo Makiadi (having performed there in the 60s), Tabu Ley in the 80s, Evoloko in 1988 having performed there and multiple soukous artists during the late 80s and 90s. Is it Brazilians are very proud of their culture like people from the French West Indies (Martinique, Guadeloupe, Saint Martin & French Guyane) who are really attached to Zouk, despite Zaiko Langa Langa, Pepe Kalle, Aurlus Mabele, Dr Sakis, Awilo Longomba, Diblo Dibala, Alain Konkou, etc. having performed there multiple times.

Cause their culture is more Angolan based, and more Latin based I see it with my friends who are the type.of Angolans we call Shungura and with me that I am the type of Angolan that they call Langa (Shungura being Angolans who only speak Portuguese, and Langa being Angolans who struggle to speak or don't speak Portuguese at all but they speak Lingala as their mother tongue since Ya Jossart is actually Angolan and move to Congo when he was very little).
Brazilian music is more pianos, more slow, even the SAMBA that you see performing at the high pace are extra slow compared to the fast pace Congolese music for example this is one of the most famous Brazilian songs

These are the one clearly African based and as you can see the Fastest of this is probably a Quarter of the Speed of the usual Speed of Congolese music

From 00:19 how can I Brazilian person can dance a song with this much of a pace and that goes so fast compared to songs who are slow and allow you to make slow dances?

Yes from a first point of.vueew it seems that she dances fast but if you compare with the average Congolese dance move she is actually slow
In fact in Brazil Kuduro songs tend to perform poorly because the dances are too fast even Faster then the average Congolese step

A dance like thisnwill never fly in Brazil
But unlike Kuduro Kizomba songs tends to get massive views also thanks to the Brazilian checking to tune in cause Kizomba is way slower
That's why it is hard for a Congolese.to break in Brazil
