Yolanda Be Cool

Comprised of Sylvester Martinez and Johnson Peterson, Australian electronic dance music duo Yolanda Be Cool hail from Sydney, Australia, and are affiliated with producer DCUP. Yolanda Be Cool made their commercial recording debut with the Afro Nuts EP on Sweat It Out! in 2009. The following year they teamed up with DCUP on the house track "We No Speak Americano," which notably samples the 1956 song "Tu Vuò Fà l'Americano" by legendary Italian singer/songwriter Renato Carosone. Initially released on Sweat It Out! and later licensed for release by numerous other labels, "We No Speak Americano" was an international smash hit in summer 2010, topping the charts in over a dozen countries, including most of Europe. ~ Jason Birchmeier
