Baha Men
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baha Men is the name of a pop group that plays an updated 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; the titular track won a Grammy Award. Their most recent album was Beach Baby (2002).

[edit] Trivia
- Anslem Douglas was sued in 2001 and lost the lawsuit with regards to full authorship for the song "Who Let the Dogs Out?" The chorus was originally composed by Patrick Stephenson and Leroy Williams in 1995 of Just Platinum Recording Studios/Action House Studios in Toronto, Canada for a radio jingle. It was proven at this time Anslem was a client of the studio, and had used the chorus to compose the song. The lawsuit was settled with an undisclosed financial payment.
