Yolanda Be Cool are an Australian music duo composed of Andrew Stanley and Matthew Handley. Formed in 2009, they achieved worldwide fame almost immediately with their 2010 single âWe No Speak Americano.â The track, which sampled the 1950s Neapolitan hit âTu vuò fà l'americano,â hit the top of the charts in the UK, Spain, Mexico, Argentina, and Sweden as it racked up 200 million views on the groupâs video streaming channel. The single also earned them two nominations for the 2010 Aria Awards in the categories of Best Dance Release and Most Popular Australian Single. Preceded by the Crystal Waters collaboration âLe Bump,â their studio debut Ladies and Mentalmen saw the light in 2013 and featured guest spots by Gurrumul, Barbara Tucker, and Betty Wright. In 2014, they dropped a remix of Rodriguezâs âSugar Manâ that went platinum in their native Australia and hit Number 11 on the Belgian charts with the 2015 single âSoul Makossa,â which sampled Manu Dibangoâs 1972 hit. The duo delivered a second LP titled Je Suis Music in 2016 and remained active in the electronic music scene with the singles âHacia La Nocheâ (2017), âDance and Chantâ (2018), âSpace Jamâ (2019), and âNo More Sorrowâ (2020).
