Overview
The band's golden age lasted from 1982 until 1991, when the beginning of Yugoslav Wars forced the members to split. Its mixture of folk music and "oriental" sounds led to mass popularity. The band reached the peak of its popularity with the 1986 album "Pristajem na sve", which sold over 500.000 copies. One of the band's singers, Šemsa Suljaković, recorded a solo album "Što me pitaš kako živim", which officially sold 1 million copies.
It is associated with Yugoslavia. Recorded genres are turbo-folk and traditional folk music.
