About
Goombay Dance Band is a German band created in 1979 by Oliver Bendt, named after a small bay on the Caribbean island of Saint Lucia. Their music (somewhat similar to Boney M.), is a mixture of soca, calypso and western pop. The group enjoyed their greatest commercial success at the beginning of the 1980s, with number one hits Sun of Jamaica, Seven Tears and Aloha-Oe, Until We Meet Again. Goombay Dance Band were popular in South Africa too, where Sun of Jamaica and Aloha-Oe entered the charts.
