Belgian studio band from the 1960s, which specialised in easy listening Hawaiian style music. They had their highest popularity in Belgium and Germany, but their releases were also available on the American continent. Composers such as Jo van Wetter, Willy Albimoor, Hans Blum and Michael Thomas (Martin Böttcher) created songs, while behind the scenes, record producer Horst Fuchs promoted the band’s career and pulled the strings.
In 2004 the song “Hawaiian March” was used for the ‘Prince Paul’s Bubble Party’ track on the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie film soundtrack.
