Shugo’s Foosy is a band founded in Pula in 2011 and consists of Alen Spada (guitar), Leon Brenko (keyboards), Boris Boskovic (bass) and Dusan Kranjc (drums). Four musicians coming from the same town, with different backgrounds, sharing same interests in jazz, pop, rock and traditional music, started working together on some original music quite spontaneously. The chemistry that was present since the beginning resulted with the authentic sound that can be described as groovy, melodic and comprehensible to fans of any music genre. Even though their style of is set as jazz/ethno/fusion, these musicians are open to various influences and combinations of styles in order to express their emotions. Their first album was released in 2014 called Grains of Sand.
