Everything about The Baha Men totally explained
Baha Men is the name of a
pop group from The Bahamas that plays a modernized style of
Bahamian folk music called
Junkanoo. The group's debut,
Junkanoo, was released in
1992, and was very traditional in its sound. They soon began aiming their music at a more mainstream
audience, however, and finally succeeded with
2000's remake of "
Who Let the Dogs Out?" originally composed by
Anslem Douglas; although they faded back into obscurity soon thereafter. Their most recent
album was
Holla! from
2004.
Baha Men has also won a
Grammy Award in 2000 for Best Dance Recording for "
Who Let the Dogs Out?".
In the same year they won a
Billboard Music Award for World Music Artist of the Year and World Music Album of the Year.
In 2002 they won a
Nickelodeon Kids Choice Award for Favorite Band and Favorite Song.
The Baha Men were one of the many artists to record a song on the album
DisneyMania and two of its four sequels. On the first DisneyMania, they recorded "Hakuna Matata" from
The Lion King. On
DisneyMania 2, they recorded the famous song "It's a Small World" from the Disney park attraction of the
same name. They were absent from
DisneyMania 3, though they returned for
DisneyMania 4, recording their take on the song "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride" from
Lilo and Stitch entitled "Bahaman Roller Coaster Ride." A number of their songs have used in major motion pictures such as:
Rugrats In Paris,
Miss Congeniality,
Rat Race, and . In fact, the band has also made an appearance on the big screen, when they starred as themselves in the 1994 romantic comedy
My Father The Hero starring
Gerard Depardieu and
Katherine Heigl. Despite rumors of their true origin they're from, and formed in, the
Bahamas. The Baha Men have not made any news of a new CD, or any news for that matter, since their last album Holla.
