Novi Fosili (trans. "the new fossils") was a Croatian pop band, and a household icon in former Yugoslavia. The group was formed in Zagreb in 1969. However, their first successes came in 1976 when the composer Rajko Dujmić joined the band. That same year Novi Fosili played at the Split music festival, where their song Diridonda soon became a hit throughout the country. Their next several albums sold millions of copies and delivered many hits that are still aired on radios in Croatia today. The first female singer was Đurđica Barlović, in 1984 replaced by Sanja Doležal. The group's male vocalists were Vladimir Kočiš Zec and Rajko Dujmić. Some of their hits include: Za dobra stara vremena (For good old times), Milena, Sanjaj me (Dream of me), and many others. In 1987 the band represented Yugoslavia at the Eurovision Song Contest. With their song Ja sam za ples they reached fourth place. After the breakup of the former Yugoslavia, the group was disbanded, then gathered again, but without Doležal and Zec. It was disbanded again in 2001, but the members of the most memorable lineup gathered again for some revival concerts. Doležal later became a chat show host. Read more on Last.fm.
