The Chakachas

Although active since the late ’50s, it wasn’t until 1972 when this Belgian combo would strike gold with the A-side to this 45, “Jungle Fever,” whose sexy beckons and heavy breathing would propel the group to international notoriety. The B-side, “Cha Ka Cha,” is a slower, more flirtatious number, whose lackadaisical pace and family-oriented lyrics make it a seemingly more commercial effort.
