The Bahamian music and terpsichore tradition of Junkanoo, which traces back to the slavery days when slaves were allowed to pucker together one day a week for festivities, is amalgamated with the modern influences of dance rhythms, come out music and Latin percussion by Isaiah Taylor and his dance band, The Baha Men. According to "Billboard", the group "straddles the pedigree betwixt Caribbean and western democratic music and does so piece putting smiles on people's faces and a bounce in their steps".
Although their debut album, "Junkanoo", released in 1979, was to a great extent rooted in the Junkanoo style and featured updated versions of traditional Bahamian tunes, The Baha Men take in increasingly leaned towards modern music. Their minute album, "I Like What I Like", was produced by Tommy D (Michael Jackson), Don Dubose, John Holliday and Trevor Steele (The Escape Club) with Holliday and Steele co-writing five-spot songs with the band. The first gear individual from the album was "That's The Way, Etc.", a medley of tunes by K.C. And The Sunshine Band. The Baha Men continued their more-contemporary approach with their third gear record album, "Doong Spank", released in 1999. WHO Let the Dogs Out, featuring the Grammy-winning single "WHO Let the Dogs Out," was issued a twelvemonth later. The record album went on to sell over basketball team meg copies. In early 2002, the Baha Men attempted for more than Top 40 stardom by issuing the follow up, Move It Like This.
