Initially called "New Baccara" to distinguish it from Mayte Mateos' re-formed "Baccara", Mendiola teamed up with vocalist Marisa Pérez and in 1987 reached the top five in Spain and top 40 in Germany with the single "Call Me Up", written by Ian Cussick. 1988 saw the duo release a series of Euro-influenced Hi-NRG dance tracks on the "Bellaphon" recording label. "Call Me Up", "Fantasy Boy" and "Touch Me" were produced by Luis Rodríguez, and were big club hits across Europe. A version of Bette Midler's "Wind Beneath My Wings", released on the "Loading Bay" label in the late 1990s, was also a hit in UK clubs. Towards the end of the decade "New Baccara" was renamed back to "Baccara", and releases continued, although the group did not chart as their output was directed towards the club scene with singles pressed in strictly limited quantities.
