Members of the group were often musicians from all over Croatia, mostly students from music schools. Not being very exposed, they managed to keep their music in the focus of acid jazz fans, which was the point and the most valuable thing that the group had to offer to the public. In 1996., after the success of their second single and first video Mogu i sama featuring Valerija Nikolovska, the band had attracted a lot of attention from the media. They've had quite a few TV appearances. Their biggest supporter was a radio station Radio 101, the band was second on their top singles chart that year, and they performed live in front of 10.000 people in a spectacular concert 'Radio gori' ('The radio is on fire'). A lot of young, and now afirmed, respected musicians, and some frequent and established guests had been a part of the band. Leaded by Petar Beluhan, together they started the idea of putting all of the progressive club scene together under the name 'Lagano, Lagano'. Later that year they signed a contract with Aquarius Records. In the spring of 1997. Valerija Nikolovska, known as one of the best soul/blues singers in Croatia, joined the band. She was followed by a keyboard player Viktor Lipic and by a guitarist Vlado Mirceta and together they had ther first big summer tour on the Adriatic coast (21 concerts). Their only, long awaited, studio album Svima zelim Raj za sve, was released in 1999. There were rumors that the group was working on some new material and that a second album was to be released sometime in the autumn of 2004., but that unfortunatelly hadn't happened, and it most likely never will... https://root.theworkpc.com/music/preview?img=http://www.aquarius-records.com/izvodjaci-opsirnije.php?pID=19 - in Croatian Read more on Last.fm.
