Midi, Maxi & Efti - Bad Bad Boys

The band consisted of the two twin sisters Midi and Maxi Berhanu and their friend Freweyni “Efti“ Teclehaimanot, all of them born in 1976. Midi and Maxi were refugees from Ethiopia and came to Sweden with their parents in 1985. Efti was born in a refugee camp in Eritrea and also arrived in Sweden in 1985. The three girls finally met in the Stockholm suburb of Akalla. Their self-titled album was released in 1991 and spawned three singles, “Bad Bad Boys“, “Ragga Steady“ and “Masenko“. Although the girls contributed lyrics, most of the Africa-inspired songs were in fact composed and produced by the men behind Army of Lovers – Alexander Bard, Anders Wollbeck and Per Adebratt, assisted by E-type and Stakka Bo. Styling was done by Jean-Pierre Barda and Camilla Thulin.
