ARTIST INFORMATION:
Elina:
16-year-old Elina comes from the heart of Haraman. Coming from a musical family, she took up singing at a young age. She competed in local competitions, and now, thanks to one, she will be competing in the Sayqidi Festival of Melodies with the song “DANCE!”. Elina has been so kind to give us an almost 40-second clip of the instrumental to her song to show you all. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
Geghana:
Geghana is an up-and-coming artist coming from a small Aparapati town. After she moved to Haraman in 2017, she amassed up to 10k followers on Pigeon thanks to her busking. They supported her through her journey to compete in SFM. She happily gave us an almost minute-long clip of the instrumental to her song “SNAP”. We hope you enjoy it![/center]
More artists will be revealed, so stay tuned!
PIGEON POST:
Alexa is an established artist from Quzou known for her Q-pop (Quzou pop) style dance. She has been kind enough to share with us a snippet of the instrumental to her entry “Wonderland”!
