Baccara were a very popular Spanish dance-pop duo in the late seventies. The group consisted of Mayte Mateus (born Matee Matheos on 7 March 1951), and María Mendiola (born Marie Mendiola on 4 May 1952). Their music was a blend of pop and disco, with lyrics in English sung with the peculiar Spanish accent of the two singers.
Baccara’s most famous hits were “Sorry I’m a lady” and “Yes sir, I can boogie”, both of which topped the charts during 1977 in some European countries, including the United Kingdom. In 1978, their song “Parlez-Vous Français?” got the seventh place at the Eurovision Song Contest. Curiously, the duo were representing Luxembourg. After releasing four albums, Baccara ceased to exist in 1982. Up from this moment, María and Mayte have followed their musical careers separately, either solo or with new reformations of the duo like Baccara 2000 or New Baccara.
Mayte Mateos graduated as a teacher from the Royal Spanish Academy for Arts, Drama and Dance in Madrid and then joined Spanish Television’s Ballet Company. While there she met fellow performer María Mendiola. In 1976 the two women formed a singing and dancing duo (using the title Venus) and left the Ballet Company. Initially the duo’s act was simply that of variety show dancers. Their first television appearance was on the Palmarés light entertainment programme[1] and they were engaged at a nightclub in the Aragon city of Zaragoza, but their contract was cancelled when the club manager decided that they were “too elegant” for the style of show.

I also heard it for the first time in "Cuento de Navidad". It reminded me at the time when "Aires de Fiesta" plays in the movie "Accion Mutante"

I caught wind of this song as it played most randomly in the movie, Cuento de Navidad(The Christmas Tale), which is part of the 6 Films to Keep You Awake collection. Cuento de Navidad was the best, as far as my appetite is satiated. Iglesia's The Baby's Room would follow up second. I recommend the set for The Christmas Tale alone. It brought me to the pleasure's of Baccara. : x
