Los Chakachas were a Belgian-based Latin soul and funk group formed in the late 1950s, known for their lively blend of Afro-Cuban rhythms, Latin jazz, and pop sensibilities. Comprised of seasoned studio musicians, they gained international fame in the early 1970s with their sensual groove-driven hit “Jungle Fever.” Their infectious percussion, spirited brass, and rhythmic interplay made them pioneers in bringing Latin dance music to European and global audiences, leaving a lasting imprint on funk and disco scenes alike.
