Estonia's Music Duo 5miinust and Puuluup to Compete at Eurovision Song Contest 2024
Chew Through Info:
Estonia's got some fresh talent taking the international stage in 2024! The Eurovision Song Contest, baby! Our boys, 5miinust and the avant-garde duo Puuluup, will be representing the Baltic beauty with an original Estonian-language anthem, "(nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi."
These cats kicked some serious ass at our very own national song contest, Eesti Laul, snagging the grand prize thanks to a blend of public and jury votes.
5miinust, a passionate hip-hop ensemble hailing from Võsu, debuted in 2015, while Puuluup, a unique modern folk duo made up of Ramo Teder and Marko Veisson, are a growing cult sensation back in Estonia. They captivate fans with their somewhat surreal, choreographed shows and mesmerizing talharpa performances.
Their collaboration resulted in a killer tune, "(nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi," which was one of only three Estonian-language tunes in the Eesti Laul final, held on 17 February in Tallinn. The rest of the competitors sang in English. It's time to spice things up at Eurovision with some Estonian language!
By the way, this marks the first Estonian-language entry to the contest since 2013, when Birgit Õigemeel graced the stage with "Et uus saaks alguse."
Estonia's only Eurovision win happened in 2001 when Tanel Padar, Dave Benton & 2XL took the title with the catchy "Everybody." They became the first ever country to represent the former Soviet Union and win the contest!
So get ready, Swedes! You've got a taste of what we've been brewin' since 1994. The 2024 Eurovision Song Contest goes down from 7 to 11 May in Malmö. L lights, camera, action!
