Representatives of Latvia at «Eurovision-2022» with songs «Glory to Ukraine» sang the song of the Ukrainian representative Kalush Orchestra

The band Citi Zēni, which will represent Latvia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 this year, yesterday made a cover version of the Stefania competition track of the Kalush Orchestra from Ukraine.

According to the members of the Citi Zēni trio, they decided to sing Stefania because, firstly, it is a very good song, and secondly, when the band was in the camp, its members turned out to be constantly listening to Kalush, but realized later when they checked your playlist.

But there is a third reason:

«Today is a very important holiday for Latvia. May 4 is the day when we regained our independence from the Soviet Union. And it felt like a good thing, a good gesture. Because initially, when the war started, we were the first to apply to the EBU. That it is wrong for the Russian delegation to take part. They listened. Everyone deserves independence. We Latvians know how important this is. «, – said one of the participants, Citi Zēni.

It should be noted that Latvians, as well as Ukrainians of the Kalush Orchestra, will compete for a ticket to the final during the first semifinal of the «Eurovision-2022» competition next Tuesday, May 10.
