Ukrainian singing duo head to pop-filled Eurovision Song Contest
Even amid war, Ukraine finds time for the glittery, pop-filled Eurovision Song Contest. Perhaps now even more than ever.
“We have to spread it and share it and show people how strong women and men are in our country,” added alyona, who spells her name with all lower case letters. The song blends alyona’s punchy rap style with Heil’s soaring melody and distinctly Ukrainian vocal style.“But great melodies,” alyona added. “So she creates all the melodies and I just jump in.”
Thirty-seven countries from across Europe and beyond – including Israel and Australia – will compete in Malmö in two Eurovision semi-finals May 7 and 9, followed by a May 11 final. Ukraine currently ranks among bookmakers’ top five favourites alongside the likes of singer Nemo from Switzerland and Croatian singer-songwriter Baby Lasagna.The Ukrainian duo caught a train after holding a news conference where they announced a fundraising drive for a school destroyed by a Russian strike.
“My grandchildren hugged me and asked, “Grandma, will they rebuild our school? Will it be as beautiful, flourishing, and bright as it was?” she said.
