Laban
Laban was a 1980s Eurodisco duo consisting of Lecia Jønsson and Ivan Pedersen. Both Pedersen and Jønsson were born in Denmark and originally sang in Danish, finding immediate success in their native country with their debut single "Hvor ska' vi sove i nat?" Laban quickly became one of Denmark's most popular music acts of the 1980s following the release of their subsequent Danish albums, which achieved platinum record status.
In 1986, the duo expanded into international releases with albums sung in English, allowing Laban to find limited international success. Their biggest hit, "Love in Siberia," broke into the American charts in the United States and found substantial popularity in Europe and Scandinavian territories. Laban's 1986 album, Caught by Surprise, also performed well and became the duo's most well-known album. The success of Caught by Surprise allowed Laban to release a second international album, Roulette, in 1987. Pedersen and Jønsson went their separate ways in 1988, ending Laban. The success they found allowed Laban's music to be released in over forty countries worldwide.
