Vampiri (Serbian Cyrillic: Вампири, trans. The Vampires) are a Serbian and Yugoslav rock band formed in Belgrade in 1987.
Originally a nine-piece band, Vampiri gained the attention of the Yugoslav public at the beginning of 1990s with their doo-wop and rockabilly sound. Their debut album Rama lama ding dong was released in 1991 and brought them huge popularity among the country's teen audience. The group repeated the success of their debut with the albums Tačno u ponoć (1991) and Be-be (1993), the latter featuring the band's songs written for the hit film We Are Not Angels. However, in 1994, part of the members left to form the supergroup Familija, leaving vocalist Aleksandar Eraković as the sole remaining original member. The band continued as a five-piece, recording the albums Plavi grad (1995) and Monkey Food (1997), the latter marked by the group's departure from their original sound and experimentation with different genres, disbanding in 1998. In 2012, Eraković reformed Vampiri, the group releasing their first album since the 1990s, Letimo, in 2022.
