Belgian based group of Latin soul and Afro Cuban studio musicians, founded in 1958 by bandleader aka (percussion) featuring Kari Kenton (vocals) from Cuba; (saxophone) a Dutchman from Liege; (trumpet); (piano); (guitar and backing vocals) and (bass guitar). Most of them were native to Schaarbeek (a district of Brussels), or nearby Charleroi, Willebroek and Liège. After a musical eclipse in the mid-sixties, the band is reassembled a few years later, in a new line-up and with a different sound; this time, the band's made up of session musicians, who are also part of other bands or projects (see also , , , , ). The new Chakachas go for a mix of Latin/Soul/Funk/Jazz/Afro.
