Boney M. was a Euro-Caribbean vocal group created by German record producer Frank Farian, who served as the group's primary songwriter. Originally based in West Germany, the four original members of the group's official line-up were Liz Mitchell and Marcia Barrett from Jamaica, Maizie Williams from Montserrat and Bobby Farrell, a performing artist from Aruba. The group was formed in 1976 and achieved popularity during the disco era of the late 1970s. Since the 1980s, various line-ups of the band have performed with different personnel.
The band has sold around 80 million records worldwide and is known for international hits such as "Daddy Cool", "Ma Baker", "Belfast", "Sunny", "Rasputin", "Mary's Boy Child – Oh My Lord" and "Rivers of Babylon".
A Boney M. NSZK-beli popegyüttes, az eurodiszkó egyik legnagyobb sztárja. A legnagyobb sikert az 1970-es és az 1980-as években érte el. Nemcsak Európában, hanem az ázsiai, afrikai és arab országokban is nagy népszerűségnek örvendett. Az együttes szülőatyja Frank Farian zenei producer volt. Fénykorában a Boney M. a legendás svéd popcsapat, az ABBA legnagyobb vetélytársa volt. A diszkózene háttérbe szorulása az 1980-as évek első felében a Boney M.-et is érzékenyen érintette, ám ennek ellenére az együttes ebben az évtizedben is többször szerepelt a sikerlistákon, de slágerei ma is rendkívül népszerűek. Több alkalommal koncerteztek Magyarországon is. Az évek során a zenekar több átalakuláson ment keresztül, s az új évezredben több különböző együttes is járja a világot Boney M. néven. 2010. december 30-án egy szentpétervári hotelszobában holtan találták a Boney M. klasszikus felállásának férfi tagját, Bobby Farrellt.
