Novi Fosili (English: The New Fossils) is a Croatian pop band, one of the most popular music acts in the former Yugoslavia.
The group was formed in Zagreb in 1969. Their first successes came in 1976 when the composer Rajko Dujmić joined the band. That same year, Novi Fosili played at the Split Festival, where their song "Diridonda" soon became a hit throughout the country. Their next several albums sold millions of copies and delivered many hits that are still aired on radios in Croatia today. The first female singer was Đurđica Barlović, in 1983 replaced by Sanja Doležal. The group's male vocalists were Vladimir Kočiš Zec and Rajko Dujmić.
Hits include: "Za dobra stara vremena" ("For good old times"), "Milena", "Sanjaj me" ("Dream of me"), and others. The band represented Yugoslavia at the 1987 Eurovision Song Contest. With their song "Ja sam za ples" ("I wanna dance") they finished fourth.
After the breakup of Yugoslavia, the group was disbanded, only to reconvene without Doležal and Zec. It was disbanded again in 2001. Members of the most memorable lineup gathered again in 2005 for some revival concerts. In 2014, scandals arose surrounding Dujmićs long time drug use, causing him to be expelled from the group. The remaining members still hold small revival concerts.
