Passionfruit - Wonderland (Video)


Passion Fruit was a Eurodance/bubblegum dance group consisting of three girls of GermanSpanish and Dutch descent:
  • Maria Serrano Serrano (November 26, 1973 - November 24, 2001)
  • Nathaly(ie) van het Ende (January 2, 1975 - November 24, 2001)
  • Debby (Deborah St. Maarten) (born 1973 in Delft)
Named after the tropical fruit, Passion Fruit got their start in June 1999 with the Top 10 dance-pop hit "The Rigga-Ding-Dong-Song". "Wonderland", "Sun Fun Baby" and "Bongo Man" followed in 2000 and 2001, all making the Top 40 on the German singles chart.
On November 24, 2001, the group was on board Crossair Flight 3597 from Berlin to Zurich when it crashed into a wooded range of hills four kilometres (2.5 miles) short of the runway on approach towards Zurich International Airport, near the town of Bassersdorf. Maria Serrano-Serrano and Nathaly van het Ende died along with former La Bouche vocalist Melanie Thornton, who was also on the plane, while Debby St. Maarten survived with serious injuries along with eight other people.
In December 2001, Passion Fruit's management decided to donate all the proceeds from their single "I'm Dreaming of...a Winter Wonderland" to the victims and survivors of the crash.
No new formation of the band has been planned since.
