  • Dolores, a prominent Croatian singer from the 1990s, has been seen selling traditional Croatian dishes at a market.
  • The singer, who holds two academic degrees and released six albums, previously withdrew from the music scene for a quiet family life.
  • She has recently returned to music and is also involved in a catering business and investing in new technologies.

Dolores, once a celebrated star of the 1990s Croatian music scene, has been spotted in a new role: selling traditional dishes like "purica s mlincima" (turkey with pasta) and "kuhani grah" (cooked beans) at Zagreb's Dolac market. The singer, known for hits such as "Ostavi me" and "Dobro jutro, Dalmacijo," had previously stepped away from the spotlight to focus on family life.

Despite her hiatus, Dolores has been making a comeback. She released a new song, "Sreฤ‡a nije vrijedna tuge" (Happiness is not worth sadness), in late 2022, showcasing a return to traditional melodies. Her appearance at the PLACe market event, where she donned an apron and served customers, was part of an initiative to revitalize the market as a hub for culinary traditions.

Beyond her musical endeavors and market stall, Dolores is also engaged in a catering business with her son. She has also revealed her interest in new technologies and future markets, describing herself as a "miner" who is investing in projects. This multifaceted approach shows a singer embracing new ventures while reconnecting with her audience and cultural roots.

I am investing in new technologies and future markets. And I am a real "miner." I missed out on investing in bitcoin when I was advised to, but I have embraced something new and, besides investing, I am mining in all projects where I can.
