Baccara is an iconic female vocal duo, originally formed in 1977 by Spanish artists Mayte Mateos and María Mendiola. The duo quickly rose to international fame with their hit single "Yes Sir, I Can Boogie," which became an emblem of the disco era and went on to sell millions of copies worldwide. Their catchy tunes, characterized by their distinctive blend of pop and disco with a Flamenco influence, captivated audiences across Europe and beyond.

Throughout the late 1970s and into the 1980s, Baccara enjoyed success with a series of releases, including "Sorry, I'm a Lady" and "The Devil Sent You to Lorado," making them one of the quintessential acts of the dance music scene of that era. Though the duo eventually saw changes in their lineup and experienced a period of lesser visibility, they made a significant comeback with new versions of their hits and new material in the 1990s, adapting to modern music trends while still preserving their unique style. Their legacy lives on through compilations like "Lo Mejor de Baccara" and retrospectives such as "70s, Los Años Jovenes: Dias de Disco," and they remain a beloved act for fans of classic disco and pop music.
