2 Eivissa - Oh La La La (1997)
2 Eivissa was a Eurodance project created by Spanish-German based production crew Team 33 from Hamburg. Most tracks were written and produced by Ambrogio Crotti, Luis Rodriguez, a.k.a. Luigi Ricco, David Granados Lacera and David Lacera.
Originally fronted by singers Terri Bjerre along with Melannie Molinnus, they released the Ibiza track of 1996, Oh La La La. The live act was fronted by Jane & Francine (a.k.a. 2 Blond Bandits. One would be forgiven for immediately being reminded of Chrystal Waters' 'Gypsy Woman'. But hey, it was a one-hit wonder anyway, and a summer holiday one at that.
The production quartet suspended the project in 2005, but it was resurrected in 2007, producing 'Hot Summer Night' for David Tavare using a vocal sample from the original track.
The video was shot with revellers from the then legendary Man-U-Mission club on Ibiza. Understandable then that the tune's crusade started on the Balearic island, taking the Spanish charts, then soaring on the UK charts and finally conquering the rest of mainland Europe. Uncharacteristically for a Eurodance track, even the dance music scene in the US took note!
