바카라 (Baccara)는 스페인 여성 보컬 듀오다. 1977년 부터 현재까지 활동중이다. 그룹명은 독일어로 장미를 뜻한다. Baccara is at the Top of the Europop scene with this compilation which one could undoubtedly call the Utimate/Essential Collection, sung by the original artists. Even though, Baccara was very popular in the late 70's & early 80's, one often had the impression that their music has been disappearing over the years.

The 1980 single release of 'Sleepy-Time-Toy' led to a disagreement within Baccara over the vocal mix used. Mendiola complained that her voice was not given sufficient prominence in the song's arrangement and sued RCA for breach of contract. Mendiola's case was that the song should not have been released as a Baccara recording when it amounted to a Mateos solo. A court hearing in Munich resulted in 250,000 records being recalled from dealers and a revised recording with a new vocal mix being issued in place of the original. A twenty eight second instrumental bridge was removed from the start of the recording (thereby reducing the play time from 6:12 to 5:44) and the vocals were remixed so as to give Mendiola and Mateos equal prominence. The artwork for the single's cover appears to have remained unchanged. The single failed to chart successfully.
As a result of the dispute, relationships between all parties involved were fatally damaged. One consequence of this was that Soja and Dostal were not involved with Baccara's final album. The duo recorded Bad Boys with Bruce Baxter and Graham Sacher in the UK. Neither the album nor its spin-off single 'Colorado' were successful. In 1981, after RCA declined to renew their contract, Mateos and Mendiola ended their professional partnership and both launched solo careers.
By 1988 both artists had released a series of singles and one studio album each of their own – Mendiola with Born Again and Mateos with Spanish Dreams under the name Mayte Mathée — which saw moderate success amongst Baccara's original fan base. Mateos' Spanish Dreams was re-released on CD in Germany in the 2000s under the title Noche Latina but Mendiola's Born Again still remains unreleased in digital format. However there remained a demand for Baccara's music, particularly on the European television circuit, and by the end of the decade both Mateos and Mendiola had formed their own versions of Baccara with new singing partners. Despite a series of name and line-up changes, both Baccara duos continue to perform around Europe and have released new albums. Both have also made re-recordings of their hits for various minor record labels, which are regularly re-packaged and re-issued under the original Baccara name, occasionally with photos of the original duo, Mateos and Mendiola, on the album covers. However, the original song versions - those recorded between 1977 and 1981 - remain the property of Sony Music Entertainment, which holds the rights to the RCA back catalogue.
On the occasion of Baccara's 30th Anniversary, Sony-BMG Germany released a very complete 3 CD box set on August 31 2007. This collection includes 50 RCA original recordings. Several songs such as 'Mad in Madrid', 'Amoureux', 'Baila tú', 'En el año 2000', 'Eins plus eins ist eins' and 'Candido' made their debut on CD. The only tracks missing from this otherwise comprehensive career retrospective are the US 12' versions of 'Yes Sir, I Can Boogie' and 'Sorry, I'm a Lady' from debut album Baccara, the full 12 minute album version of 'Baby, Why Don't You Reach Out?'/'Light My Fire' and the extended album version of 'Darling' from 1978's Light My Fire and the extended 12' versions of 'Body-Talk' and 'By 1999' from 1979's Colours.
After the split, Mateos and Mendiola never performed together again. However, the two women remained on friendly terms. When Mateos married in Stockholm in 1982, Mendiola attended the wedding as a guest. There Mendiola met a fellow guest who she subsequently married and with whom she had two sons. Mateos's marriage failed and in 2010 she was living in Hamburg, where she worked as a dance instructor when not touring with her own revived version of Baccara. In 2010 Mendiola was living in Madrid and still performing as a singer.
Mayte Mateos' Baccara (1983–present)
Following the original Baccara's dissolvement in 1981 Mayte Mateos released three solo singles through the RCA-Victor label, 'Souvenirs from Paradise', 'Recuerdos del ayer' and 'Malaguena', the first two produced by Rolf Soja. Re-forming as Baccara in 1983 with Marisa Pérez, a contemporary of Mateos and Mendiola at the Spanish TV ballet company, Mateos re-established the band on the European entertainment circuit. Pérez was followed by a succession of partners including Ángela Muro, Sole García, Jane Comerford, Carmen, Cristina Sevilla, Paloma Blanco, Isabel Patton, Romy Abradelo, Rose, Francesca Rodrigues and María Marín. Mateos' current singing partner is once again fellow Spaniard Paloma Blanco. Although having no new hits to their name, Mateos' Baccara have remained in demand for television and live performances, performing the band's extensive back catalogue — versions of which have been released as compilations — as well as up-tempo interpretations of traditional Spanish songs.
In 1999 Mateos' Baccara released a new studio album through RCA-Victor/Sony-BMG, Baccara 2000, as well as an updated dance version of breakthrough hit 'Yes Sir, I Can Boogie' as a single.
In 2004, Mayte Mateos was once again involved with Eurovision, when her incarnation of Baccara took part in the Swedish Melodifestivalen preselection contest to represent Sweden with the song 'Soy tu Venus'. However, Baccara lost out to local star Lena Philipsson, who eventually placed 5th in the competition. A full-length studio album recorded in Sweden, Soy tu Venus, followed.

A new Baccara album with Mayte Mateos and Paloma Blanco, entitled Satin ..In Black & White and produced by the original Baccara team Rolf Soja and Frank Dostal, was released on May 30th, 2008. This album contained remakes of original Baccara recordings from the late 1970s and some new songs. Although appreciated by Baccara fans, sales of the album were disappointing.
Maria Mendiola's Baccara (1985–present)
Initially called New Baccara to distinguish it from Mayte Mateos' re-formed Baccara, Mendiola teamed up with vocalist Marisa Pérez and in 1987 reached the top five in Spain and top 40 in Germany with the single 'Call Me Up', written by Ian Cussick. 1988 saw the duo release a series of euro-influenced Hi-NRG dance tracks on the Bellaphon recording label. 'Call Me Up', 'Fantasy Boy' and 'Touch Me' were produced by Luis Rodríguez, and were big club hits across Europe. A version of Bette Midler's 'Wind Beneath My Wings', released on the Loading Bay label in the late 1990s, was also a hit in UK clubs. Towards the end of the decade New Baccara was renamed back to Baccara, and releases continued, although the group did not chart as their output was directed towards the club scene with singles pressed in strictly limited quantities.
Mendiola and Pérez were stars of the UK 2000 tour and appeared at Wembley, London with various other music groups. In 2004, they appeared on British reality show Hit Me Baby One More Time.
In August 2005, Mendiola and Pérez were honoured with a memorial on Vienna's 'Musical Mile', along its Hollywood-style 'Walk of the Stars'.
In late 2008 Marisa Pèrez was diagnosed with acute polyarthritis. It was agreed that until Perez recovered, her place at Baccara live performances would be taken by Mendiola's niece Laura Mendiola. This measure (stated to be temporary) allowed Mendiola's Baccara to honour its outstanding commitments over the period Perez needed to recover.

The Very Best of Baccara is a compilation album by Spanish duo Baccara released by Sony BMG in June 2006.
This 14 track compilation was issued by Sony-BMG (formerly BMG-Ariola) and while it includes recordings by the original formation of the duo, Mayte Mateos and Maria Mendiola, is digitally remastered and offers one rarity in the form of the Spanish-language version of 'The Devil Sent You Lorado' it omits many of the duo's hits and best known songs such as 'Darling', 'Number One', 'Granada', 'Cara Mia', 'Koochie-Koo', 'Can't Help Falling In Love', 'Feel Me', 'Baby Why Don't You Reach Out/Light My Fire', 'Somewhere In Paradise' and 'By 1999', most of which were included on the 18 track UK edition The Best of Baccara issued the year before. The international version replaces many of these with selections from their final album Bad Boys and only contains two tracks from their best-selling debut Baccara.
