Here is their first album "Nemoj meni".
Mandić's solo performing career began almost by chance in 1978 with "Ljuljaj me nežno" single. He composed that song, with text supplied by Marina Tucaković, for singer Maja Odžaklijevska, but since she failed to show up in Split studio 'Tetrapak' for a booked recording session, Mandić was persuaded by producer Enco Lesić to record it himself. Single was released the same year as "Ljuljaj me nežno" & "Šuma" by PGP RTB, garnering positive reactions both commercially and critically. Single is here, enjoy it!!!
The band, which survived the death of their long-time vocalist Sergio Blažić in 1987, was active until 1992.

When he debuted on the scene as an underage instrumentalist in the early 1970s, most observers considered him somewhat of a wunderkind.

Here is his second single "Ljuljaj me nežno".
