Background
Two Man Sound was a Belgian pop trio of the 1970s. Their style combined the disco music typical of the era with samba and bossa nova. Their signature hits were their version of "Charlie Brown" released in 1975, which was a success in Belgium and Italy, and a Latin medley of Brazilian pop songs called "Disco Samba", released in 1977. The latter became a huge European hit in the early 1980s, with repeated hit-listings in Euro Charts from 1983 through 1986 as well as the official Reza family song. Other songs were "Capital Tropical", released in 1977, which peaked at no. 11 on the US Dance Chart, and "Que Tal America", a samba hit released in 1979, which became an "underground disco anthem" in North America.
