The 68th Eurovision Song Contest will take place in Malmö, Sweden this week. The number of songs will be signficantly less compared to previous years with only 37 performances set to take the stage. Estonia's entry 5MIINUST x Puuluup is actually a double act, two bands who came together to create the hit song (Nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi, that won Eesti Laul eariler this year.
(Nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi, which translates as “We (really) don’t know anything about (these) drugs” is a collaboration between nu-folk act Puuluup, who are famous for their skills on the Talharpa, a rare wooden lyre from northern Europe and 5MIINUST, a hip-hop group. The upbeat song delivers humorous lyrics about a drug bust. (Nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi has the longest song title in the history of the competition.
5MIINUST x Puuluup are scheduled to perform in the second semi-final on May 9. Good luck!
