MAI TAI
Mai Tai is a Dutch group (named after a tropical cocktail) that was formed in 1983 with three former backing vocalists Jetty Wheels, Mildred Douglas and Caroline De Windt, they created a Dutch soul, disco and pop act. In early 1985 they released their debut album, called Mai Tai, which won a Dutch Edison Award and a Silver
Harp. The international breakthrough came with "History" from the debut album. This song was successful all over Europe, became a #8 hit in the UK Singles Chart and reached the Top 20 in Germany. It was also a hit in New Zealand and Australia and entered the U.S. Billboard dance chart. In 1986 their song "Female Intuition"
became a Top 40 hit across Europe, and made Top 10 in Denmark. After their international breakthrough, Mai Tai also became more popular in the Netherlands.
Mai Tai could not manage to maintain the success. Their third album, Cool Is The Rule was less successful in the charts, and after 1987 they did not release any new work and decided to split up. In 2003 Mai Tai was reunited, and some new tracks were released unsuccessfully.

MINHA OPINIÃO - a curiosidade maior fica por conta das origens do grupo: as moças do Suriname, residentes em Amsterdam, cantado musica "disco" e fazendo sucesso na Europa inteira...menos na Holanda, onde só vieram a ser reverenciadas depois. Nada de novo: apenas mais um trio vocal feminino competente no ofício de cantar.
