Baha Men
The Baha Men are a band from Nassau, Bahamas. They play a modernised style of Bahamian music called Junkanoo. They originated in the Minneapolis, United States area and then, after gaining some recognition, relocated to the Bahamas.The group was formed in the Bahamas in the late 1970s as High Voltage, with the original members being percussionist Isaiah Taylor, Colyn "Mo" Grant and Nehemiah Hield. They were known for performing traditional Caribbean junkanoo music.
The group renamed themselves as Baha Men in 1991, and released their first album under that name, Junkanoo, in 1992. The album was very traditional in its sound.
In the 1990s they began aiming their music at a more mainstream audience, and achieved great, if short-lived, popularity with 2000's remake of "Who Let the Dogs Out?" (originally composed by Anslem Douglas), recorded with the help of Orlando Infante. The song was a chart success in many countries, and also became a popular song at US sporting events.
"Who Let the Dogs Out?" also earned the band several awards: a Grammy Award in 2000 for Best Dance Recording; Billboard Music Awards for World Music Artist of the Year and World Music Album of the Year; and a Nickelodeon Kids Choice Award for Favorite Song. In 2002, they won another Kids' Choice Award for Favorite Band.
