Biography
Belgian based group of Latin soul and Afro Cuban studio musicians, founded in 1958 by bandleader [a1512443] aka [a1171303] (percussion) featuring Kari Kenton (vocals) from Cuba; [a1052806] (saxophone) a Dutchman from Liege; [a1512444] (trumpet); [a2873460] (piano); [a3417540] (guitar and backing vocals) and [a3417542] (bass guitar). Most of them were native to Schaarbeek (a district of Brussels), or nearby Charleroi, Willebroek and Liège. After a musical eclipse in the mid-sixties, the band is reassembled a few years later, in a new line-up and with a different sound; this time, the band's made up of session musicians, who are also part of other bands or projects (see also [a414306], [a4118873], [a15159], [a695322], [a1229862]). The new Chakachas go for a mix of Latin/Soul/Funk/Jazz/Afro. The bulk of the songs is provided by [a309729] and [a8713]. Their biggest hit will be "Jungle Fever" (1970). The Chakachas also recorded under the name Los Chicles.
