It was a truly infamous hit in the United States in 1971 and 1972, mainly for the moaning, breathy sexual overtones of its female vocalist (though there are some male grunts in the mix too) but it was also beat crazy. The band that created this smash, were, to all but hardcore music connoisseurs, virtually unknown. That's ok, its record company at the time Polydor, wanted it that way. That's because this group from Belgium, was almost completely white, made up nearly entirely of Northern European men (with the notable exception being vocalist Kkeri Kenton who was of Cuban origin), most, either Dutch or Belgian. Chakachas have a curious history. Formed in the late 1950s by pianist Nico Gomez and percussionist Gaston Bogaert, they were imitators of the Latin sounds that were taking the world by storm at the time, from cha cha, to mambo to hybrid exotica to rumba. They made records and seldom played outside Brussels or its environs. They disbanded in '65 and Gomez began making his own albums (most are killer and are now VERY collectible), often using former bandmates as session players. Later in the decade, other groups from the region began making Latin-style recordings and making some headway in sales and in the press. The group's producer, Roland Kluger convinced all but Gomez to return and recorded the Jungle Fever LP - of which the title track was buried at the dead end of side two. Polydor nonetheless issued the cut as a single and the rest is history - except for one interesting fact: they understood the record would die if anybody knew this band was white. For an appearance at the Apollo, they hired a group of African-American men to impersonate the band on stage. Since no known photos of the real Chakachas existed they were in the clear. The hit was a one off, a fluke, but what a boon. It has had a steady life in the whisperings of DJs for the past three-plus decades and is oft-sampled in both dance music and hip-hop circles. ..."
