Estonia's Acts for Eurovision 2024: 5miinust and Puuluup Set to Compete

🔥 traversing through the realm of Eurovision, we've got some thrilling news, mates! 😎 The vibrant Estonian duo, 5miinust (an energetic hip-hop crew) and Puuluup (a modern folk duo with a captivating cult following), will be leading the charge for Estonia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024! 🇪🇪🇭🇺

These talented artists won Eesti Laul, Estonia's national selection process to decide the country's representative at the contest, with a spectacular combined jury & public vote.

Based in the charming town of Võsu, 5miinust was formed back in 2015. With their roots in Estonian hip-hop, this lively band has made a name for themselves with their fresh, rhythmic tunes.

Now, let's talk about Puuluup, formed in 2014 by Ramo Teder and Marko Veisson. Their unique sound is a fusion of traditional talharpa (bowed harp) playing, electronic effects, loopers, and avant-garde techniques. Their performances often include mesmerizing choreographed elements! 🎶💃

So why all this hype, you ask? Well, they'll be performing "(nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi" - an Estonian-language gem - at the Eurovision Song Contest! 🎤🇪🇪

Their song was one of only three Estonian-language entrants in the Eesti Laul final; the rest of the competitors sang in English. Pretty cool, right? 😊

Fun fact: Their song will be only the second Estonian-language entry at Eurovision since 2013, after "Et uus saaks alguse" performed by Birgit Õigemeel. Exciting stuff, eh?! 🤩

Estonia has had a rich history at the Eurovision Song Contest, participating since 1994. They made waves in 2001 when they took home the trophy with "Everybody," performed by Tanel Padar, Dave Benton & 2XL. The country became the first from the former Soviet Union to win the contest. 🏅🇪🇪

The 2024 Eurovision Song Contest will be held in Malmö, Sweden, from 7 to 11 May. Sweden wonthe 2023 contest with the song "Tattoo" by Loreen. 🇲🇾
