Background
3 Sud Est was composed of three Romanian singers: Laurențiu Duță, Viorel Sipoși and Mihai Budeanu. They first started working together in 1993, when Laurentiu Duță performed at Romania's Mamaia Singing Festival as a solo singer and his two mates provided choreography and background dancing for his performance.
3 Sud Est's 1997 debut single was "Ai plecat" (You've left), which defined their early trademark sound and became an instant success. This brand of electronic dance music came to influence a series of other young artists from the Romanian scene such as Andre, Animal-X and Cristina Raduta. Their most successful is Amintirile (The memories).
Laurentiu Duta had a solo low-profile music career from 1993, after he finished his (piano and guitar) high school music studies. He used to play solo Romanian-folk genre, a genre not to be confused with Romanian-country music. After the 3rei Sud Est music project ended in 2006, he released the solo single "Visator" (Dreamer boy).
Mihai Budeanu also released a solo album outside of the 3rei Sud Est project.

“They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“Pilate with his question “What is truth?” is gladly trotted out these days as an advocate of Christ, so as to arouse the suspicion that everything known and knowable is an illusion and to erect the cross upon that gruesome background of the impossibility of knowledge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
