Everyone should bear in mind that a lot of the youtube clips about
kizomba are from salsa/dance festivals where the dance has suffered
several evolutions. Most of these dancers dance salsa, tango, kizomba,
and other dances. It's normal that they start including parts from
another.

I have friends that have african origins and they go out and dance
kizomba. It never seemed so refined or polished :)

There's also a lot of styling... which is not usual. kizomba is a very
sensual/sexual dance and that's why a lot of people like it. It's
similar to tango in some ways, of course...

I thought it was pretty much well accepted that tango has had some
african (from slaves) origins. Is it not the case?
