Cacadou Look was a five-piece pop rock band from Opatija, Croatia that was the first Yugoslav all-female band to release a long play record.[1][2]
Cacadou Look was formed in Opatija in 1983.[3] They were not the first all-female band in Yugoslavia — at the time, already active were Tožibabe from Ljubljana and Boye from Novi Sad[3] — but they were the first to achieve a degree of mainstream popularity, helped by radio play of their two demo tracks, "Sama" and "Kao pjesma" (both 1987),[1] and by TV appearances such as those on Stereovizija,[3] a popular 1980s music show broadcast by Radio Television Zagreb.[4]
Their first album Tko mari za čari (Jugoton, 1987) was produced by Husein Hasanefendić and Tomo in der Mühlen,[1][5] and featured a guest appearance by Vlada Divljan. The album yielded three hit songs: "Sama", "Kao pjesma" and "Tako lako". Apart from "Tako lako", a cover of Buddy Holly's "It's So Easy",[1][5] and "Ne dozvoli", which was written by Divljan,[1] all songs on the album were composed by the band.[5] Despite these accomplishments, the band found working in the men-dominated music scene difficult at times, and occasional malicious remarks motivated them to work even harder.[6]
Their second and equally successful[3] album Uspavanka za Zoroa was released in 1989. Hit tracks from the album were "Baum bam bam", "Budi mi prijatelj", and "Krenite s nama",[3] the latter a cover of Bryan Ferry's "Let's Stick Together".[1] An English version of "Budi mi prijatelj" — named "Be My Friend" — was also recorded, appearing on Yu-Go Pop (Jugoton, 1990),[7] a compilation of Yugoslav pop and rock artists performing their songs in English.
Cacadou Look played their last gig in Zagreb on 25 May 1991.[3] Members of the band were not willing to start solo careers — seeing them as meaningless without the band teamwork — and left the music scene.[6]
