BACCARA-ORIGINAL MARIA MENDIOLA MIT 69 VERSTORBEN
Teilen
Sie war in den Siebzigern die meist in weiß Gekleidete des Duos Baccara - Maria Mendiola. Am Sonnabend, 11. September, ist sie mit 69 Jahren verstorben. Zwischen 1977 und 1979 landeten Baccara europaweit mehrere Hits und galten neben Pink Lady aus Japan als das erfolgreichste weibliche Pop-Duo. In Spanien bei Auftritten in Diskotheken an Urlaubsorten entdeckt, kam das Duo zuerst nach Deutschland, wo es unter anderem Songs im Disco-Stil von Rolf Soja und Frank Dostal (Rattles, Wonderland) sang (“Yes Sir, I Can Boogie“, “Sorry, I’m A Lady“). Mit den beginnenden Achtzigern zogen die zwei Sängerinnen nach Großbritannien um, wo sie mit neuen Songwritern ihrer Musik eine dezente Rocknote zu verpassen suchten. 1981 trennte sich Mendiola von ihrer Partnerin. Beide traten mit eigenen Baccara-Versionen bis heute in Erscheinung.
