Vengaboys are a eurodance band that came to prominence in 1997. They were formed by Dutch DJ's Danski (Dennis van den Driesschen) and Delmundo (Wessel van Diepen), who toured Spanish beach parties in a bus. They formed in 1992 and gained four dancers during 1995-96. Some of their most successful singles include "Uncle John from Jamaica", "We're Going to Ibiza", "Boom Boom Boom Boom" and "We Like to Party". Like in Spanish, the V is pronounced with a soft B sound, as such- "Bengaboys", which could be translated as "The 'Come on' Boys". A guest-singer from Spain, for the producer's previous project Nakatomi, kept repeatedly singing "¡Venga!" ("Come on!") in their songs. This led to the name 'Vengaboys' as their following project.
Never critically acclaimed, the group continued making records that were distinctly "Eurodance", following in the footsteps of previous Dutch-Dance sensations 2 Unlimited. The ploy worked and by the beginning of the year 2000, the group had achieved 4 top 10 entries, including 2 number ones (Boom Boom Boom Boom and We're Going to Ibiza). The group's success continued throughout the beginning of the 21st century, with the "Platinum Album" (their third album release) going top 10, spawning 3 big hits (Kiss, Shala Lala and Uncle John From Jamaica) and 2 lesser known tracks (Cheekah Bow-Bow, which included their fifth cyber-member Cheekah, and the ballad Forever As One, which gained more notoriety for its video, which was banned after the group used unlicensed pictures of them meeting pop group Westlife). By mid-2001, after nearly 10 top 10 hits, the group partly disbanded and went back to working on the club scene.

The Vengaboys are a Dutch Eurodance group based in Rotterdam . The brainchild of two Dutch producers Wessel van Diepen and Dennis van den Driesschen (Danski and Delmundo), the group consists of lead vocalist Kim Sasabone, vocalist Denise Post-Van Rijswijk and male vocalists Robin Pors and Donny Latupeirissa.

The Vengaboys enjoyed commercial success in the late 1990s. They are best known for their hit singles " Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!! ", " We're Going to Ibiza " and " We Like to Party " the former two of which topped the charts in the United Kingdom. They have sold an estimated 25 million records worldwide. [1] On 2 May 2001, the World Music Awards awarded Vengaboys with the award for best-selling dance group of the year. [2]

Dutch producers Danski and Delmundo initially found success organizing illegal beach parties during the summers. [1] Danski and Delmundo recruited singer Kim Sasabone for the music videos, to form a group In 1996. The name Vengaboys was thought up during a recording session for another of Danski and Delmundo's projects, called Nakatomi . Template:Fix The group recorded several single tracks such as their two small Benelux hits "Parada De Tettas" and " To Brazil ", which were released as singles before the release of the tracks as a debut album titled Up & Down - The Party Album in the Netherlands.

In 1998, with the addition of the three new members Denise Post-Van Rijswijk, Roy den Burger and Robin Pors to current member Sasabone, the now four-piece entered the UK chart at number 4 with " Up and Down " and their follow-up " We Like to Party (The Vengabus) " peaked at number 1 in Belgium [3] and was a Top 10 hit in other European countries, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. It reached number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 . Vengaboys released their second album titled The Party Album featuring both, some classics and new tracks. In June 1999, " Boom Boom Boom Boom " topped the charts in the UK, New Zealand and the Netherlands . "We Like to Party" was used in a Six Flags advertisement campaign in America, featuring an elderly gentleman ( Mr. Six ) dancing to the tune and picking up passengers. "The Party Album!" soared to the top of the charts in over 20 countries including the U.K., Canada, Germany, Benelux, Spain, South Africa, Thailand, Poland, Australia and Mexico. " We're Going to Ibiza ", a reworking of Typically Tropical 's 1975 number 1 hit "Barbados", also reached the top slot in September 1999. Their debut LP spent 30 consecutive weeks on the U.S. Billboard 200 and was certified gold (500,000 units) in November 1999. "The Party Album!" was once again released under a new name, this time known as "Greatest Hits - Part 1", which featured five new songs. The Remix Album was released in late 1999, featuring new dance remixes of the songs from the Vengaboys' debut record.

Shortly before the release of their third studio album, Pors left the group to pursue a solo career and was replaced by dolphin trainer Yorick Bakker. The Platinum Album was released in early 2000, which saw continued success for the group. More UK and Canadian Top 10 hits followed: " Kiss (When the Sun Don't Shine) ", " Shalala Lala " and " Uncle John from Jamaica " all charted, with the former going to number one on the Irish Charts . For their fourth single, the group gained a virtual member, the computer-animated Cheekah. The single " Cheekah Bow Bow (That Computer Song) " was not as successful as their previous singles. They released their single " Forever as One " in February 2001 with little promotion. The single charted at 28 in the UK, making it their worst-performing single. Shortly after this release, Post-Van Rijswijk and Bakker left the group, with Lynn Bartels and Mark Jong a Pin replacing them. The group eventually disbanded for several years. Owing to the fact this fourth line-up did not last long and resulted in no new material, Bartels and Jong a Pin have never been officially recognized as former Vengaboys members. Post-van Rijswijk gave birth to her first child during her departure from the group.

In 2006 they returned to the club scene with new member Donny Latupeirissa a.k.a. Ma'Donny, replacing den Burger as Cowboy and later Pors returning in 2009 to the group replacing Bakker, whose return was for a short time. They have most recently been touring university student union clubs in the UK and Ireland, most notably the UCD 2010 Ball, with an estimated 9000 attendees. Throughout 2008 and 2009, the group continued to tour on a small scale, while various rumors of new tracks including "Partylife" in 2008 and a re-release of old material in 2009 generated publicity.

In the spring of 2010, The Vengaboys confirmed via their website, [4] Twitter [5] and at their live gigs that their comeback single would be called " Rocket To Uranus " and feature singer-songwriter Pete Burns and American celebrity Perez Hilton , who co-wrote the song. It was only released in their home country in June 2010. The world premiere was confirmed via the band's Twitter account, announcing the premiere on 4 June on the Dutch radio station Radio 538. [6] The video premiered on 6 June at the Dutch television station TMF, [7] and in 2D and 3D formats on their own website an
