King África (born June 7, 1962) is an Argentine dance music project that was founded in the early 1990s by DJ Martin Laacré.

[1] Their debut album, El Africano, went on sale in mid-1993, reaching platinum status in Argentina and Chile,[1] and featured the single "Salta", that topped the charts across Latin America.

The album included the single "Cachete, pechito y ombligo" produced by Sandy & Papo and released in Summer of 1996, after which King África returned to his touring organized in many Latin American countries by MTV Latino.

Seeing great success in European charts, King África toured with 150 concerts in Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Romania and the Netherlands.

Also in 2001, he was invited to take part in the "Son Latino" festival in Tenerife's scenic Playa de las Vistas, singing before 250,000 people to a standing ovation.

His tour was extended to the United States and Canada, where he was invited to participate in the election of Miss Hawaiian Tropic World held in Las Vegas.

In 2002 the artist released Energía, an album that included songs like "Mete-mete" and "Vitorino", the latter duo with Los del Río (known best for "La Macarena").

King África, on this record, released a compilation of 21 songs that have become famous throughout the world, including "The Chocolate Makers Paquito" (a paso doble based on the 1937 work by the Spaniard composer Gustavo Pascual Falcó).

As a veteran artist of Vale Music, King Africa was invited to participate by performing a version of Dragostea din tei by the Moldovan Eurodance recording act O-Zone.

Past member Martin Laacre has resumed performing under the moniker "King Africa Music", but evidently achieves less success than his counterpart.
