Formed by Dejan Kostić (vocals, guitar, bass guitar) and Vuk Vujačić (saxophone), and soon joined by Zoran Zagorčić (vocals, keyboards), the band initially performed a combination of new wave, synth-pop, funk and reggae, also becoming pioneers of rap music in Yugoslavia with their early recordings. The band released their debut album Primitivni ples in 1982, gaining attention of the media and significant mainstream popularity. However, despite the band continuing to record and perform in various lineups during the following years, with the exception of a 7-inch single, they did not release any new material until the mid-1990s. In 1998, Zagorčić died of injuries he got in a car accident. In 2013, the band's leader Dejan Kostić also died of injuries from a car accident, Du Du A—although only officially active since the late 1990s—thus ceasing to exist.
