BACCARA is a female vocal duo formed in 1977 by Spanish artists Mayte Mateos (7 February 1951, Logroño) and María Mendiola (4 April 1952, Madrid). The pair rapidly achieved international success with their debut single "Yes Sir, I Can Boogie", which reached number one across much of Europe and is one of the best-selling singles of all time. A successful follow-up single ("Sorry, I'm a Lady") and European tour led to a number of album releases, numerous television appearances and the duo's selection to represent Luxembourg in the Eurovision Song Contest 1978.
Despite a substantial following in Spain, Germany and Japan, by 1981 the duo's distinctive blend of disco, pop and Spanish folk music was no longer fashionable, and by 1983 Mayte Mateos and María Mendiola were both working on solo projects. Achieving little success as solo artists, the two formed duos of their own: separate incarnations of the original Baccara appeared during the middle of the decade, with Mendiola fronting New Baccara and Mateos keeping the duo's original name. During the 1990s New Baccara was renamed back to Baccara; as a consequence both Mateos and Mendiola now head different duos with the same name. Both principals have subsequently had prolonged but separate legacy careers based on nostalgia and their earlier fame.
Mendiola's Baccara has seen more international recognition, releasing a string of Hi-NRG club hits such as "Fantasy Boy" and "Touch Me" in the late 1980s and the later UK club hit "Wind Beneath My Wings". Mateos' Baccara has released few new recordings, but has remained in demand for television and live appearances in countries such as Spain and Germany where the original Baccara developed a loyal fan base, performing the duo's back-catalogue and modernised versions of traditional Spanish songs.
NEW BACCARA is a disco group who had some hits in the 80's with the singles "Call Me Up", "Fantasy Boy" and "Touch Me". The super group worked with euro-disco producer Luis Rodriguez (Modern Talking, Creative Connection ect.), together with the songwriter and producer Reinhardt Frantz (Sweet Connection, Casablanca, Pepper Girls). Reihardt Franzt with Ian Cussick and Lee Smith wrote songs for Maria Mendiola (ex Baccara) and Maryse Peres. Maria was the writer of the spanish lyrics of the song Talisman (B side and spanish version of Call Me Up). Today their older records are rarities. These days, as well as several times in the past, the group has droped the "New" and chosen to be known simply as Baccara. The most recent things released by them are the 2002 remixes of "Wind Beneath My Wings" & the 2005 remixes of their re-recording of "Yes Sir, I Can Boogie".
