3rei Sud Est (also spelled 3 Sud Est or 3SE, styled forms of Trei Sud-Est, Romanian pronunciation: [ˈtrej suˈdest]) is a dance music group from Romania. The group was formed in 1997. The acronym translates in English by "Three South-East", because the band had three youths. The first single stayed a full year on the Romanian charts.

In 2001 the Rai_uno Una matinna TV show hosted by Cristiano Malgiolio has invited and presented the stage group as the most successful band in Romania. He based his statement on the awards the group had won: the Bravo Otto Award 2000, the Black Sea Shore Mamaia Singing Festival 1999 and 2000 awards, and the Romanian music industry award.

Background

3 Sud Est was composed of three Romanian singers: Laurențiu Duță, Viorel Şipoş and Mihai Budeanu. They first started working together in 1993, when Laurențiu Duță Duță performed at Romania's Mamaia Singing Festival as a solo singer and his two mates provided choreography and background dancing for his performance.

3 Sud Est's 1997 debut single was "Ai plecat" (You've left), which defined their early trademark sound and became an instant success. This brand of electronic dance music came to influence a series of other young artists from the Romanian scene such as Andre, Animal-X and Cristina Raduta. Their most successful is Amintirile (The memories).

Laurențiu Duță had a solo low-profile music career from 1993, after he finished his (piano and guitar) high school music studies. He used to play solo Romanian-folk genre, a genre not to be confused with Romanian-country music. After the 3rei Sud Est music project ended in 2006, he released the solo single "Visător" (Dreamer boy).

Mihai Budeanu also released a solo album outside of the 3rei Sud Est project.

In February 2014 they came back to the scene with a new single called Emoții (Emotions).
