History
Baccara was a Spanish female duo formed in 1977 by María Mendiola (1952-2021) and Mayte Mateos (b. 1951), both trained flamenco dancers who met while performing with Spanish Television's ballet company. RCA Records executive Leon Deane discovered them dancing and singing for tourists on Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands and signed them soon after. Their debut single, "Yes Sir, I Can Boogie" (1977), fused disco production with a flamenco-tinged vocal delivery and became a pan-European smash, reaching number one in the UK and selling over 16 million copies worldwide, a record for a female duo that landed them in the Guinness Book of Records. The follow-up, "Sorry, I'm a Lady," kept the momentum going, and in 1978 Baccara represented Luxembourg at the Eurovision Song Contest despite being Spanish themselves. Visually the pair were known for Mateos performing in black and Mendiola in white. Popularity faded by the early 1980s, and the two later pursued separate projects under variations of the Baccara name.
