Lelek

Lelek (written LELEK) is a Croatian all-female ethno-pop group, formed in Zagreb in 2024. They set traditional multi-part harmony singing in modern pop, and in 2026 they represented Croatia at the Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna.

Their debut single, "Tanani Nani", came out on 18 November 2024. A few weeks later they were announced for Dora 2025, the Croatian Eurovision selection, with "The Soul of My Soul", by the songwriting pair Tomislav Roso, who also manages the group, and Filip Lacković. They qualified from the first semi-final and finished fourth in the final with 102 points, second with the televoters; the song also has a Croatian version, "Zašto mi otimaš Dom". Around that time the line-up shifted: Inka Večerina Perušić left shortly before Dora, Klaudija Pulek sang with the group at the show and then left for a solo career, and Perušić came back.

At Dora 2026 they won with "Andromeda", taking 173 points. The song is a folk-pop power ballad with music by Filip Lacković, the Serbian singer-songwriter Zorja and Lazar Pajić and words by Tomislav Roso, moving from a quiet, melancholic verse to a forceful, almost ritual chorus. Self-released on 9 January 2026, with its official video premiered on 12 March, it went to number one on the Croatian domestic airplay chart, reached number 12 on Billboard's Croatia Songs and also charted in Sweden, Austria, Greece and the United Kingdom. In Vienna they qualified from the first semi-final in sixth place and finished 15th in the final on 16 May 2026 with 124 points.

After Eurovision they released "Syenke" with Go_A and Nazar & Qobzar, "Tane" with Marin, and "Ruke moje majke". The group today is Inka Večerina Perušić, Judita Štorga, Korina Olivia Rogić, Lara Brtan and Marina Ramljak. Lelek's playlist here is the music video playlist of their own channel.
