3 Sud Est

3 Sud Est (also spelled 3rei Sud Est or 3SE) was a dance music group from Romania. The group was formed in 1997.

3rei Sud Est was composed of three Romanian singers: Viorel ipo, Laureniu Duі and Mihai Budeanu. They first started collaborating in 1993, when Laureniu Duі performed at the Mamaia Festival as a solo singer and the other two provided choreography and back-up dancing.

3rei Sud Ests 1997 debut Ai plecat, which defined their early trademark sound, 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 Cristiana Rіduі. Their most successful is Amintirile (The Memories). Mihai Budeanu also released a solo album outside of the 3SE project.

They disbanded in November 28, 2008 due to musical differences between band members.

Laureniu Duі is now a solo performer.
