Baha Men are a Bahamian junkanoo band formed in New Providence, Bahamas in 1977. They are best known for their Grammy Award-winning hit song "Who Let the Dogs Out".
Baha Men formed in 1977 [1] as High Voltage, initially playing disco and funk. [2] They performed regularly in nightclubs and hotels in the Bahamas and self-released several albums. [2]
In 1991, one of their tapes found its way to Atlantic Records A&R man Steve Greenberg, who signed the band to the Big Beat subsidiary, at the same time getting the band to change their name to the Baha Men. [2]
The following year, Baha Men released their first album, Junkanoo, which included the local hit "Back to the Island". [2] Kalik followed in 1994, including the international hit "Dancing in the Moonlight". [2] The band moved with Greenberg to Polygram for the 1997 album I Like What I Like and Doong Spank , released the following year. [2] The latter sold only 700 copies in the US and the band was dropped by the label.
Greenberg then started his own label, S-Curve, and signed the band. [2] Original vocalist Nehemiah Hield left in 1999, and was replaced by his nephew Omerit. [2] The band was most popular in the 1990s in Japan, and their 1999 album 2 Zero 0-0 was initially only released in that country. [2]
They achieved great, but short-lived, popularity with a 2000s remake of "Who Let the Dogs Out" (originally composed by Anslem Douglas), produced by Greenberg and Michael Mangini. [2] The song was a chart success in many countries and also became a popular song at US sporting events. [2] "Who Let the Dogs Out" also earned the band several awards: a Grammy Award in 2001 for Best Dance Recording; [2] 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.
In June 2008, "Who Let the Dogs Out" was discussed on I Love the New Millennium . The Baha Men's most recent album was Ride With Me , released in 2015.
After releasing Night & Day in the summer of 2014 for the FIFA World Cup that year in Brazil and was featured in the soundtrack: One Love, One Rhythm – The 2014 FIFA World Cup Official Album in the Carnival Mix, the Baha Men released a Christmas Medley mixing "The Little Drummer Boy" with "Silver Bells". Their single "Off the Leash" was released digitally on 1 July 2015. On 25 October 2015, the band performed the halftime show for the New York Giants/Dallas Cowboys football game at MetLife Stadium.
In 2018, the group joined Our Last Night for a metal cover of their hit song "Who Let the Dogs Out" and, in April 2019, released a new single, "Let's Go", [3] dedicated to the teams playing in the Final Four.
