The Chakachas
The Chakachas were a Belgian-based Latin soul band that gained international fame in the 1970s. They're best known for their sultry instrumental hit "Jungle Fever," which reached the top 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1972. The group blended Latin rhythms with funk and soul elements, creating a unique sound that resonated with disco and dance audiences of the era.
While the band's lineup changed over time, it was led by bandleader Gaston Bogaert, who played percussion. The Chakachas' music continues to be sampled and referenced in popular culture, with "Jungle Fever" in particular appearing in numerous films and TV shows over the years.
