Midi, Maxi & Efti was a Swedish musical group with African influences from … Read Full Bio ↴Midi, Maxi & Efti was a Swedish musical group with African influences from the early 1990's. Their two biggest hits were "Bad Bad Boys" and "Ragga Steady".

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.

In 1992, the album was released in the U.S. by Columbia Records, and a video was made for "Ragga Steady", directed by Frank Sacramento. The band split up after a few short tours of the U.S., South Africa and France.

Their songs have been featured in the TV series Beavis and Butthead and the movie For Love or Money (starring Michael J. Fox). The members have since recorded songs separately, but nothing has been released.

Director: "Okay, now ladies... I know it's hard to sit still; due to your level of excitement, BUT we have a deadline to make, for this production. I'm going to need the three of you to work AS HARD AS YOU CAN, to MATCH physically, the energy of the lyric delivery. Think... deadpan, listless, and generally disinterested. I NEED you to fight the urge to emote at ALL. Just act like you've "seen some shit." 100 yard stare kinda vibe. Aaaaaaaaaand...ACTION."

To this day I remember I first heard this song on Beavis and Butthead. They had come inside, sat on the couch and turned on videos. 😆

They watched for a few seconds and Butthead was like “what’s going on”? Efti’s part came on and he was like “you tell ‘em Efti”. Then said they should learn how to rap faster and that they should hang out with Salt N’ Pepa. It wasn’t this video they were watching tho. It was the one with the speed boat and yacht. That one had a bit more energy. 😆
