Leteći odred is Croatian pop band from the city of Osijek that used to be popular in the mid 1990s. Its name means "Flying Squad" in Croatian. They formed in 1991 with Denis Dumančić.
Their serious music career group began in 1992, when it was discovered by Hussein Hasanefendić, known as Hus, a recognized and reputable author and leader of the Parni Valjak who along with Marijan Brkic-Brko stood behind the project and the ability to shoot and issuance of original songs by Denis Dumančić. The first inaugural album by Leteći Odred, titled "Među Zvijezdama" (Among the stars) was released in late 1992. Among the 10 or so highly acclaimed songs were "Neka Neveni ne venu" (Don't let marigold wither) and "Kao stari moj" (As my old man) that were well received by the audience and the media. In 1993, Leteći Odred performed at the first Croatian Eurovision i.e. "Crovizija" with the song "Cijeli je svijet zaljubljen" (The whole world is in love).
In late 1994, Leteći Odred released an album, titled "Kada Odletim" (When I fly away) issued by the label "Orfej". Some of notable songs were "Ja se budim" (I'm waking up) and "U mojoj glavi ima sudara" (There's crashes in my head) and the song "Heroji ne plaču" (Heroes don't cry) written by Miroslav Škoro, and performed in duet.
In 1995, Leteći Odred performed at the Croatian Eurovision i.e. "Crovizija", with the song "Pišem ti pismo" (I'm writing you a letter).
In 1996, Leteći Odred released their third album titled "Od Prevlake do Dunava" (From Prevlaka to Dunav). Songs like "Od Prevlake do Dunava" (From Prevlaka to Dunav), "Kao ja ne kužim" (Like I don't get it), "Teta" (Aunt), "Večeras je dušo rođendan tvoj" (Tonight is your birthday, Honey), "Uzalud je mjesečina" (Moonlight is in vain) and "A bez vina" (Without wine) became big hits. The album sold more than 20,000 copies and the band then started a major promotional tour in Croatia, Slovenia, Germany, Switzerland and Austria, as part of which held more than a hundred concerts and lasting for a year. Big concert in Dom sportova in Zagreb marked the end of tour, from where there is a videotape, "Zagreb za Valentinovo" (Zagreb for Valentine's Day).
In 1997 they released fourth album entitled "Kuda ide ovaj vlak" (Whither goes the train), where, among other songs are "Sanjao sam moju Ružicu" (I dreamed my Ružica), which even before the release of the album became a big hit and was ranked first in the nation's top charts for more than three months. "Hajde cigane" (Go gypsy) and "Lijepa je naša puna odlikaša" (Beautiful our land full of straight-A students) are also some of the most famous songs from the fourth album, which public and media particularly well received. That year, Leteci Odred went on the tour again, which included hundreds of concerts around the Croatian, Bosnia and Slovenia, and again sold-out concert at the Dom sportova for Valentine's Day in 1998. Album "Kuda ide ovaj vlak" (Whither goes the train) was sold by the end of 1998 to more than 30,000 copies and became the best selling album of Leteci Odred so far.
