Baha Men is the name of a pop group that plays a modernized style of Bahamian folk music called Junkanoo. The group's debut, Junkanoo, was released in 1992, and was very traditional in its sound. They soon began aiming their music at a more mainstream audience, however, and finally succeeded with 2000's remake of Who Let the Dogs Out? originally composed by Anslem Douglas; although they faded back into obscurity soon thereafter. Their most recent album was Holla! from 2004. Baha Men has also won a Grammy Award in 2000 for Best Dance Recording for "Who Let the Dogs Out?". In the same year they won a Billboard Music Award for World Music Artist of the Year and World Music Album of the Year. In 2002 they won a Nickelodeon Kids Choice Award for Favorite Band and Favorite Song.

The Baha Men were one of the many artists to record a song on the album DisneyMania and two of its four sequels. On the first DisneyMania, they recorded "Hakuna Matata" from The Lion King. On DisneyMania 2, they recorded the infamous song "It's a Small World" from the Disney park attraction of the same name. They were absent from DisneyMania 3, though they returned for DisneyMania 4, recording their take on the song "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride" from Lilo and Stitch entitled "Bahaman Roller Coaster Ride." They are not going to be on DisneyMania 5. One thing to note of them is that they are from the Bahamas, they're of Bahaman decent, despite rumors of their true origins. They formed in The Bahamas.

    Baha Men in the news

    ALWAYS look your best. I know this sounds REALLY obvious but you'd be surprised by how many men don't understand the importance of this simple tip. You never know when the girl of your dreams will turn up, or where. And it’s become a bit of a cliché because it’s true -- first impressions really do count.

    There’s something that often happens when you’re out playing the ‘seduction game’ – that is, when you’re actively looking out for girls you think you’d like to hook-up with. Many men have experienced it, and many thousands of men still do experience it when they themselves are out playing the game.

    This is the latest installment of the web series 'Fat Guy Nation'. In this webisode, The Fat Guys take an underweight, anorexic Penthouse model Charlie Laine and forces her to eat! Just as Richard Simmons takes morbidly obese, 1000 pound men and gets them to lose weight, we take morbidly thin models and make them GAIN weight!
