Halo, halo - Aska

The trio Aska came to prominence when they were chosen to represent Yugoslavia at the 1982 Eurovision Song Contest. The members of the group were Snežana Mišković, Izolda Barudžija and Snežana Stamenković. Their song "Halo, halo" only managed to achieve 14th place in a field of 18 competitors, although having received the top mark of 12 points from the Swedish jury.

Shortly upon the return from Harrogate, Snežana Stamenković retired and was replaced by Suzana Perović. The girls went on to record several albums before disbanding in order to pursue solo careers. Snežana Mišković remained in pop and went on to have an established career with her band Viktorija. Izolda Barudžija's career faded away after two additional attempts at the Eurovision Song Contest (in 1983 and 1984). Suzana Perović switched to more commercial folk music and released a few semi-successful albums before she vanished from the music scene.
