Band history

Banana was formed in 1985.[1] Initially the band went through numerous lineup changes, before a steady lineup was formed: Aleksandra Toković (daughter of the famous composer Dragan Toković, vocals), Dragan Lončar (guitar), Boban Šaranović (bass guitar), Srđan Cincar (keyboards) and Igor Borojević (drums).[1] They released their debut album, Ponoćni pasaži (Midnight Sections) in 1986.[1] The album was pop rock-oriented and featured guitarist Duda Bezuha, Bajaga i Instruktori keyboardist Saša Lokner and former Zamba vocalist and bass guitarist Bogdan Dragović as guest musicians.[1]

In the summer of 1987, the band toured Czechoslovakia, headlining a festival in Prague,[2] and at the beginning of 1988, they released their second album, Banana‚ produced by keyboardist Đorđe Petrović, who, at the time, performed with the band.[1] Aleksandra Toković wrote seven songs which marked the band's shift towards power pop.[1] Soon after the release of their second album, Banana disbanded.[1]

Post breakup

Borojević moved to Partibrejkers, and later started working as a producer,[1] producing the albums by Bjesovi, Piloti, Dža ili Bu, Kristali, Partibrejkers and other acts.[3] Aleksandra Toković became a television presenter at Radio Television of Serbia.[1] Cincar formed the band Fantomi.[1]
