Perspective
1985-1988
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 well-known folk music 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 guest appearances by guitarist Duda Bezuha, Bajaga i Instruktori keyboardist Saša Lokner and former Zamba vocalist and bass guitarist Bogdan Dragović.[1] The songs were authored by Šaranović, Cincar, Bezuha, Dragović and Heroji member Vladimir Đurić.[1]
In the summer of 1987, the band toured Czechoslovakia,[1] headlining a festival in Prague.[2] 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 music 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] Srđan Cincar performed with the band Grof (Count).[1] With the band, he recorded the album Na tvojim rukama (In Your Arms), released in 1991.[1] Simultaneously, he led the band Fantomi (The Phantoms).[1]
