They have behind them the album "Food Love Music", but also a series of hits, among which "Miss Fatima" is the most listened to on the Internet.
One of the members of this group, Maja Samardžić, revealed to "Vijesti" something more about the band, which is very popular in Europe, their work and plans.
"Iva is Balkaniera Mediteranovich, she is from Šibenik, I am Dona Bosanchera, a mixture of Prijedor and Korčula, but I also have Montenegrin origins, and Lidija is Miss Russia, who went to Russia for love.

She adds that the original line-up met on a cooking course, which they like to point out in every interview, but also that before that they all had experience when it comes to music.
