After eleven-year break the Slovakian team is back to the Eurovision song contest. The competition for the right to represent Slovakia at the Eurovision was fierce and exciting, and the duo of Nela and Kamil was selected from great pool of talent. With their song “Fly through the darkness” they hope to show the beauty of Slovakian music to the European audience.Nela is one of the youngest contestants and is famous for her unforgettable deep voice. The singer has already gained popularity in Slovakia: by the age of 18 she has become famous for her leading performances in several musicals and roles in TV shows.
Kamil said that his life is full of many happy coincidences. He has always dreamt of playing musical instruments but his parents wanted him to become an economist. Finally Kamil decided to listen to his heart and chose what was really important for him listen. “Music has always lived and continues to live in my heart”, the artist admits. Being a talented person, Kamil plays the piano, drums, contrabass and flute without any special musical education.
Participants of the press-conference mentioned that in the past Slovakia never managed to get higher than the nineteenth place in the Eurovision Song Contest, and the Head of Delegation Denisa Dzhinkova jokingly responded: “Eighteenth! You have stolen one position from us!” According to the artists, participation in this contest is very important for all of Slovakians: “We have a wonderful country with gorgeous women and talented singers”. Let us hope that the guests of the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest will have a chance to experience the beauty of Slovakia first hand.
